Veracruz Migration Special

10 days or 14 days with extension

Without witnessing one of the planet's greatest natural phenomena it is hard to imagine the "Rio de Rapaces", the spectacular migration of millions of raptors at the Veracruz coastline. Though our tour is planned to coincide with the peak of autumn migration, we will have time to visit pine-oak woodlands, tropical rainforests, coastal mangroves and humid forests, which give a chance to encounter the members of the bird diversity of Veracruz with over 500 species. The abundance of migrating raptors can exceed 100 thousand or even half million per day! But numbers of migrating raptor species (20-30) will be outnumbered by New World warblers (30-50 species) and we should pay a special attention to the 25 or more local endemics as well.

Still your attention could easily be distracted from time to time by the fascinating local history and culture, which we can add for "culture-vultures" as optional programmes. Or we can even tailor our programme according to your needs to spend some time at colonial towns such as La Antigua, at the Totonacan ruins of Cempoala, or in the finest Anthropology Museum of Xalapa, famous for its collection of colossal 3000-years old Olmec heads.

Surely the above mix guarantees a really enjoyable and unforgettable "birding holiday cocktail" with us in Mexico!
