Life list ✅
Really fun outing with expert guides who were able to teach our group a lot about the birds of the Yucatán.
Muyil the birds
A guide who's a nature buff. A very pleasant and interesting moment of life. Thank you very much.
We really enjoyed this...
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guides were great hosts and very knowledgeable. Note: the ruins were closed and there was no definitive timeline to reopen when we visited in Jan 2026. This did not diminish our enjoyment of this tour.
Excellent and worthwhile trip!
My wife and I had an excellent time with our guides Lugo and Lut. We got to see more than 50 species of bird in the region, and got to know our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Lugo who had exceptional local bird knowledge as well as our hilarious and charismatic guide Lut who brought laughs and a fun spirit to the trip. We also were treated to an exceptional lunch at a local taqueria, and a trip out to the lagoon. Unfortunately, as the Muyil archaeological site is down for maintenance, we were not able to see the ruins, but between the birding, the lunch, and the great chats, this was more than made up for. Perfect communication, did not ever feel rushed, and lots of accommodation and care for our needs. Would recommend this trip for birders all the way. Thanks Lugo and Lut for making this a five star trip!
Beautiful birds at a relaxed pace
Had an amazing trip with Lugo and Lot! Saw toucans, trogons, new world Orioles, hummingbirds, green jays, cuckoos, and other beautiful birds of the Yucatán. Muyil ruins closed currently but great bird watching nearby. Perfect timing on the breakfast, then I did the add on trip to the lagoon. Very nice way to see the natural beauty of Mexico!
