Finca Filadelfia has had the same purpose for several generations – growing and selling high-quality coffee. Here you’ll get to see over a hundred different species of birds that live throughout the 535.5 acres (216.5 ha) of the reserve.

Besides the cloud forest, Finca Filadelfia also has a pine-oak forest, a type of forest that faces endangerment. Logging and clearing the forest to make room for cattle-grazing have made pine-oak forests one of the more rare forests in Central America. 175 different species of bird have been sighted in the area.

Birders consider the bar-winged oriole one of the most interesting species in the area. Their melodic song is more distinctive than their appearance. They strongly resemble their North American cousin, the Baltimore oriole.
