Bird Watching Tour

9 days birdwatching-tour with the possibility to see over a half of the 1040 bird species that are here in Mexico.


The Yucatán Peninsula, consisting of Campeche, Quintana Roo and the Yucatán states provides unique possibilities for bird watching. Here, more than half of all the 1040 bird species that live in Mexico have been registered. This is due to the great biodiversity between the maritime and the coastal zone, where the Mesoamerican reef, the world's second largest reef, is located.
These regions extend from Contoy island to the southern coast, along Banco Chinchorro and Mesoamerica. The native vegetation of the Yucatan Península coast, is not only very important to the residents, but also to the thousands of migratory birds that are dependent on the leafs, fruits and pits.
The migratory birds can be found in Mexico two times per year as they escape the winter in other countries. Therefore, they are crossing the Golf of Mexico, a way of 800 to 1000 kilometer, to arrive at the Yucatan Peninsula. This is the first stop on their journey to Central America. EcoColors offers the opportunity to watch these birds with a maximum of 8 people. The best places for bird watching are: The botanical garden- Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín, Central Vallarta (route of the cenotes), Muyil (Sian Ka´an), Coba, Punta Laguna, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Vigía Chico, Cozumel and Río Lagartos.
