Join our expert birding guides for a ride south to one of the Puerto Vallarta area’s most fascinating bird habitats, El Tuito & the Sierra Madre Highlands.
Just one hour inland from Puerto Vallarta we will encounter the Pine and Oak Forest of the Sierra Madres stretching between Mexico’s Neo-volcanic belt and the Pacific Coast. Birds migrate from both the north and the south to meet and mingle 1000 meters above sea level in the spectacular Sierra Madre Highlands. Needless to say, birding El Tuito is one of the most amazing places you can go bird watching in Mexico.
Depending the time of the year, some of the bird species that you may see in this area of the Sierra Madre Highlands include:
