Although the IHG Pointsbreaks have been less inspiring in recent years, there are usually a few that can be used for eco-tourism and birding. At 5000 IHG Rewards per night, these are a great bargain if you can use them. Use your airline miles to get you to the country and the only thing left to pay is the rental car or taxi hire!
Here’s my picks:
PANAMA – Rent a car and visit Soberania National Park
CROWNE PLAZA PANAMA
COLOMBIA – Have your hotel book you a car & driver for the day and go to Chingaza National Park or BioAndina
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES BOGOTA ZONA FINANCIERA
INDIA – Jaipur is about 3 hours from Bharatpur and the Keoladeo National Park, you’ll need to spend the night there to go birding at dawn.
CROWNE PLAZA JAIPUR TONK ROAD
AUSTRALIA – Rent a car and head up to the Blue Mountains.
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS SYDNEY MACQUARIE PARK
