Oaxaca—often called the birdiest state in Mexico—offers an incredible variety of habitats and elevations, making it the richest region in the country for bird species. This 12-day journey explores one of its most rewarding corners, combining exceptional birding with unforgettable landscapes, food, and culture.
You’ll travel through five of Oaxaca’s premier birding regions, from the high Sierra Juárez to the Pacific coast, encountering regional treasures like Red Warbler, Blue Mockingbird, Rose-bellied Bunting, and—offshore—Pink-footed Shearwater and Black Storm-Petrel. Along the way, you’ll visit the vibrant cities of Oaxaca, Tehuantepec, and Huatulco, with a tranquil night in forest cabins in the Southern Sierra.
Cultural highlights include the ancient mountaintop ruins of Monte Albán and a visit to the weavers’ village of Teotitlán del Valle. And of course, you’ll experience Oaxaca’s legendary cuisine—especially its seven celebrated types of mole. This tour is rich in species, flavor, and spirit.
Please note that while the general itinerary is set, hotels and daily activities may slightly differ depending on circumstances.
