El Pilar Forest and Maya Site Birding Tour
A private half-day birding outing in subtropical forest around the El Pilar Maya site near the Belize–Guatemala border.
About this tour
Leave San Ignacio for the forest reserve surrounding El Pilar, a quiet archaeological site close to the Guatemala border. The subtropical woodland supports manakins, honeycreepers, flycatchers and a broad range of forest birds.
The guide pauses along the approach and forest paths as bird activity allows. Rough off-road access is part of the outing, and a local restaurant stop can be arranged after birding.
