Veracruz Birding Adventure
Raptor Migration & Central Coast of Veracruz
Tour Highlights
Alot of effort has been taken in this tour to include unique destinations and opportunities, not found in other tours, and a strong emphasis on supporting local biologists, guides and organizations promoting an ‘everybody’ wins vision, where we start to address the question of how do we leave a place in better shape than we found it?
Birdlife and habitats in Mexico have huge pressure from local human activity, and traditional resort tourism. It is our thought that with carefully designed tourism, we can leave a very positive impact? This tour is our starting point in creating and finding a better way forward. We hope to further develop this vision with your help and participation in this adventure – we invite you to join us in Veracruz!
