Achiote Road – The Magical Road
Why magical road? Because any sought-after species can materialize in front of you on the road…at any moment!
Birding is done primarily along the Achiote Road either on foot along the road or by slowly driving on the way during the first hours. As the sun goes up and the temperature rises, we enter into traditional birding trails to look for species like the White-headed Wren, the Long-tailed Tyrant or the Montezuma Oropendola. Also streams will be checked for kingfishers, waterthrushes and more.
Birding Experience
We have over 20 years of birding experience and are now merging our businesses under our new company Beautiful Tours.
You can check out our old websites with a LOT more birding information and options. Soon these sites will be getting a makeover:

GuidedBirdTours.com
This secondary website was created from the idea of the URL name and was the banner under which we created our tours for maketplaces like Viator and GetYourGuide.
