Overview

About 20 minutes south of Tulum, we have the opportunity to enjoy an incredible bird diversity, learn about the current Maya culture and the ancient Maya civilization as we walk and look for birds in the village and archaeological site of Muyil. ​ We explore different habitats in the village with different types of vegetation: mature semi-deciduous jungle in the archaeological site of Muyil and some fresh water wetlands as we walk through flooded jungle using a boardwalk until we reach a fresh water lagoon. ​ On this tour it is possible to identify from 40 to 80 species of birds (depending on the time of the year). Depending on the availability of boats, there is also the possibility to add a boat trip across two lagoons and a lazy river floating experience to this tour. We float in a truly unique setting, listening to the sounds of nature, among mangroves, orchids & bromeliads. A calming experience like nothing you have experienced before.

Birding in Yucatan and Oaxaca

Published on Nov, 2024

We did 2 birding tours, one in Yucatan with Miguel and one in Oaxaca with Edgar. Both guides were fantastic birders and super nice guys. Highly recommend!

Beautiful afternoon in Sian Ka'an

Published on Feb, 2024

Great experience seeing crocodiles, manatees and tons of different species of birds. Calm, beautiful scenery. Fantastic picnic at sunset. All thanks to our great guide Marcos!

Good tour visiting different spots for different birds

Published on May, 2023

Miguel was a professional and enthusiastic birding guide who really knew his birds, where to look for them and was good company too. We really appreciated stopping at spots along the road or in villages that you wouldn't normally do on your own to see different species. Recommended.

Very informative and exciting trip. There are numerous bird species in the Yucatan. Worthwhile especially early in the morning.

Muyil Birding 11th August 2022

Published on Aug, 2022

Good trip all round, punctual pick -up at 05:30, quick stop for coffee before arriving at Muyil. Birded the local gardens and jungle around the community. Good selection of species on offer , almost every bush had a bird in . Species seen included Spot-breasted Wren, Black-cowled Oriole, Yucatan Woodpecker, Rose-throated Becard, Cinnamon-bellied Saltator, Pale-billed Woodpecker, Piratic Flycatcher, Red-legged Honeycreeper, White-bellied Emerald, Scaled Pigeon, Brown and. Green Jay, you really could spend hours here. A short stop for refreshments and then entered the ruins. Birding here a lot more difficult in dense vegetation. However the guide , Claudio, seemed to have x-ray vision ! .Species here included several trogon’s, several woodcreepers , Bat Falcon, Squirrel Cuckoo, Masked Tityra, Bright-rumpled Atilla, American Pygmy Kingfisher and various tanagers , flycatchers and more. A very successful trip, highly recommended for hardcore birders.
