Rio Lagartos is best place for Birdwatching  & Photography tours on the Yucatan Peninsula..

¨If you are looking for a one-stop location to see as many birds as possible while visiting the Yucatan Peninsula, the Ría Lagartos Reserve tops the list with 395 birds -70% of all the birds reported for the region.
 
The reason is simple: diverse habitats that include the sea, coastal dune, scrub, an extensive estuary, salt flats, fresh water wetlands, as well as both dry and humid forest.
 
 On top of that, you have some of the best local bird guides in the region that know just where to find the birds on your “wish list”.
