About this tour

Spend a full day moving through contrasting habitats near Merida. The morning begins at productive local wetlands, continues through pasture and tropical dry forest, then pauses around noon before the final coastal section.

The inland sites can produce Limpkin, Snail Kite, Black-throated Bobwhite, Yucatan Jay, Orange Oriole and Yucatan Flycatcher. On the north coast, the focus changes to waterbirds and regional specialties such as American Flamingo, Mexican Sheartail, Yucatan Wren and Yucatan Gnatcatcher.

Private SUV pickup is planned for 06:00 and return around 18:00. Food is not included. Because midday conditions can be hot and humid, guests seeking a lighter outing may prefer one of the shorter Merida tours.
