San Blas Birding Overnight
Use two field days to explore San Blas birding habitats with Luis Morales, combining an extended first session with a second morning and early afternoon.
About this tour
This two-day extension gives birders more time in the San Blas area than the operator’s single-day outing. Luis Morales leads the programme from San Pancho, using the longer format to work through a broader selection of tropical, wetland and coastal birding conditions. The exact sequence is confirmed for the date rather than presented as a guaranteed fixed circuit.
The published schedule begins at 6:00 am on the first day and continues, with a meal break, until approximately 8:00 pm. Day two resumes at 7:00 am and runs to around 2:00 pm. That structure creates opportunities to revisit productive habitat or change emphasis as weather, access and bird activity develop. The current service information also names land transport from San Pancho, boat transport and optional entry to the historic fort, so the final route may combine several field settings when those components are confirmed.
The operator’s current page highlights possibilities such as Northern Jacana, Purple Gallinule, Bat Falcon, Collared Forest-Falcon and several buntings. San Blas birding is naturally seasonal, and neither those species nor any broader checklist can be promised. Luis can instead use the extra time to respond to recent sightings and the group’s interests while providing identification support in the field.
The listed rate is 5,480 MXN per person for a group of two to six. A bilingual guide, birding optics and reference books, an eBird checklist, a homemade breakfast, land transport from San Pancho, and the named boat/entry components appear in the current inclusion list. Overnight accommodation is not identified there, and neither are meals beyond the listed breakfast. Confirm lodging, the precise pickup arrangement, route, optional entry, all remaining costs and availability through the BirdWatch inquiry before booking.

Itinerary
Day 1
Extended first day across San Blas habitats
Depart at 6:00 am for the first San Blas field session. Luis selects productive stops for current tropical and wetland activity, using land travel and, when confirmed for the booking, the listed boat component or optional historic-fort entry. A meal break is built into the long day before further birding continues toward the published 8:00 pm finish. Exact sites and the balance of activities depend on access and conditions.
Day 2
Morning follow-up and early-afternoon finish
Resume at 7:00 am, using the second session to revisit a promising area or cover habitat not reached on day one. Birding priorities are adjusted from the previous day’s observations and recent local information rather than a guaranteed checklist. The published programme finishes at approximately 2:00 pm; return and drop-off details are confirmed in the booking plan.
