About this tour

Use the most active early-morning birding window on a compact private outing from Merida. Choose between the dry forest and ranch country along the Misnebalam road or the mangroves, mudflats and coast around Progreso.

The inland option brings motmots, pygmy-owls, parrots, woodpeckers, flycatchers, jays and orioles into range. Progreso shifts the focus to flamingos, stilts, terns, frigatebirds, herons, ibis and regional mangrove specialties.

Pickup is planned for 05:30 in a comfortable SUV, with return around 09:00-10:00 depending on the selected site and bird activity. Private guiding and transport are included.
