This is my third time going on this specific excursion and I would return again. It is a fantastic opportunity to see striking birds that you will not see in the city of PV. In addition to the stunning birds we saw out in the "wild," the private wildlife and bird sanctuary near El Tuito is a very special place with over 265+ species of birds. The tour leaders are very knowledgeable and are very invested in ensuring you see as many interesting birds as possible. I highly recommend Ecotours. This is my 8th excursion with them and it never disappoints. Don't miss this tour! Take your bug spray, sun lotion and a hat and enjoy!

This is the third birding tour we have enjoyed with EcoTours Vallarta and the second time with our exceptional guide Michael. It does not get any better when you finally, after 50 years loving birding, get to see your “goal bird” in a perfect setting! Michael guided us to a Painted Bunting - and many more life list birds! We could not have been more thrilled, as well as impressed by his consummate knowledge of bird life. Thank you so much! We’ll be back - with friends and family!

We took this tour through EcoTours with Fernando as our guide. We had an amazing morning spotting almost 60 species of birds and exploring the Mcaw bird sanctuary. Fernando took his time to make sure each person in the group saw the birds, helped to call them in at times, and shared his vast knowledge of bird and butterflies as we traveled to our various locations. It was a great way to get off the beaten path and explore local birds plus we even stopped in El Tuito for a little snack and to check off our bird lists. Great day and this tour is highly recommended for experienced birders and even non birders(we took my husband and my girlfriend’s boyfriend and they both enjoyed the tour). Thank you Fernando!

The Sierra Madre birding tour with Cynthia was awesome. The day started with a stop to grad some delicious Mexican sweet bread for breakfast. Our first stop was at a small stream. Cynthia was great at spotting birds and patiently answered our questions. We saw a few orioles, different species of sparrows and blue grosbeaks. After the brief stop we proceeded to Rancho Primavera which is a haven for rescued macaws and parrots who are trained and released into the wild. We saw the military macaws, lilac crowned and yellow headed parrots. We saw a total of 57 species of birds on the trip and it was fun filling out the bird checklist with Cynthia at the end. Highly recommend for bird watching and bird photography
