Riviera Nayarit Bird Watching Tour to Sierra Del Vallejo Biosphere Reserve, San Pancho, & Sayulita Estuaries
Take a day trip north of Puerto Vallarta to not just one, but three unique bird watching habitats in one incredible day of birding in Mexico. The incredibly diverse Biosphere of the Sierra del Vallejo Reserve is home to Tropical forest, Dry Forest & Shore land bird habitats. With the keen eye of our expert birding guides, birding enthusiasts can expect to see well over 40 different species of birds in just one morning!
Birding Sierra Vallejo and the surrounding region is unique as it is prime real estate for birds in Puerto Vallarta to flock to. At the mouth of the Ameca River, the Pacific Ocean and river combine to create the saline water and mangrove shelter these tropical birds prefer. Our birding tour also makes stops in the estuaries of the small pueblos of San Pancho and Sayulita abundant with tidal wetlands as well.
Our biologist guides are passionate about conservation and birding in Mexico and love to share their passion with fellow birding enthusiasts. Stick close by and your guide will help you spot the Puerto Vallarta birds found in this region. This is a birdwatcher’s dream, as you can see both endemic and migratory bird species like;
