This is your chance to witness the world's largest raptor migration on earth! With between four and seven million raptors migrating through Veracruz each season, the tour provides unparalleled opportunities for hawk and birdwatching. The tour includes visits to prime hawk-watch sites like Chichicaxtle and Playa Juan Ángel, as well as diverse habitats such as coastal lagoons, grasslands, and tropical forests, allowing for sightings of both migratory and resident bird species. Participants can enjoy relaxed birding from hotel rooftops, nature walks, and even a boat ride through mangroves in Alvarado Lagoon. The tour also emphasizes conservation, with contributions made to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and the Veracruz River of Raptors Project for each participant.
