Birds of Tropical Paradise Tour

If you are vacationing in Puerto Vallarta and you love birds, count yourself lucky! In this paradise there are nearly 350 bird species in varied ecosystems and habitats. Green Jay, Tropical Kingbird, San Blas Jay, Yellow-winged Cacique, Social Flycatcher, Golden-cheeked Woodpecker and Russet-crowned Motmot are all common sightings in the area. Our guides are avid birders and occasionally they don’t need to see the birds to identify the species, they can identify them only by their songs. Our first stop is right across from Los Arcos and our adventure begins: Pelicans, frigate birds, cormorants, snowy egrets, sea gulls and vultures will be some of our first sightings. Further in the mountains, amid the tropical deciduous forest we’ll enjoy a light breakfast among sightings of Hummingbirds, Parakeets, Kiskadees, Flycatchers, Motmot and Cacophonous Woodpeckers. We’ll continue to Mismaloya to encounter Robins, Happy Wrens, sparrows and Inca Doves, among others. As a special treat to end our Tropical Bird Watching Tour we’ll enjoy a cold drink accompanied by guacamole and salsa under the shade of giant white fig trees, and let the wildlife come within five feet of us. Iguanas join blue San Blas Jays, Green jays; Long-Tailed Hermit Hummingbirds and Yellow-winged Caciques.
