Your Profesional Puerto Vallarta Bird guides are avid birders and occasionally don’t even
need to see the birds to identify the species, they can identify them only by their songs.
The first stop is right across from Los Arcos and our adventure begins: Pelicans, frigate
birds, cormorants, snowy egrets, sea gulls and vultures will be some of our first sightings.
Further in the mountains, amid the tropical deciduous forest we’ll enjoy a light breakfast
among sightings of Hummingbirds, Parakeets, Kiskadees, Flycatchers, Motmot and
Cacophonous Woodpeckers. We’ll continue to Mismaloya to encounter Robins, Happy
Wrens, sparrows and Inca Doves, among othersbAs a special treat to end our Tropical Bird
Watching Tour we’ll enjoy a cold drink accompanied by guacamole and salsa under the
shade of giant white fig trees, and let the wildlife come within five feet of you, as iguanas
might join blue San Blas Jays, Green jays, Long-Tailed Hermit Hummingbirds and Yellow-
winged Caciques
