About this tour
Choose a private morning or afternoon in Quintana Roo with Eddy Ay Peña. Based near Tulum, Eddy combines local Maya knowledge with birding and photography guidance.
The selected site depends on your accommodation, interests and current bird activity. A short transfer can lead to the forests around Coba or Muyil, while other possibilities extend to Reserva Toh near Puerto Morelos, coastal Tulum or an island visit to Cozumel.
Across these alternatives, the operator records roughly 35–70 species on a half day, with the actual total shaped by season, weather and the destination chosen. Birding can also be paired with local Maya history and food.
