Why Chiapas?

Chiapas is among the most biodiverse regions in the world and home to some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful bird species, including the Resplendent Quetzal, the Rose-bellied Bunting, and Pink-headed Warbler. With a vast array of endemic, migratory and other resident bird species, stunningly preserved archaeological sites such as Palenque, and multiple surviving Mayan communities, Chiapas is an ecological and cultural hotspot in Mexico.

We’re birding guides specialised in our home state of Chiapas, with bases in San Cristóbal de Las Casas and Acacoyagua on the Chiapas coastline.

We are local birders, fluent in English and Spanish, who know where and when to find bird species in Chiapas.

With our extensive contacts across the state, we’re able to prioritise the safety of our guests while taking you to remote regions of Chiapas.

We collaborate with local communities, contributing to their economies and inspiring them to preserve their forests.

We aim to have zero impact on the birds through ethical, conservation-focused guiding practices and plastic-free trips.
