Bird Watching Muyil

---

Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve - Muyil

We can meet in Tulum or about 20 minutes south of Tulum in the town of Muyil where we have an excellent opportunity to find a great diversity of birds. Muyil is also the name of an ancient trading post of the Maya in the semi deciduous jungle of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve.

Nowadays it is possible to visit this archaeological site as well as the surrounding area to find birds such as: The Olive-Throated Parakeet, Black-Headed and Gartered Trogons, different species of Woodpeckers and Woodcreepers, beautiful Aracaris and Keel Billed Toucans, Yucatan, Green and Brown Jays, different species of Hummingbirds just to name a few.

We start with a walk in a small Mayan community with many different types of vegetation to find an incredible diversity of birds. When it starts to get hot we go to the shade of the archaeological site to eat a light breakfast and continue birding through the jungle surrounded by ancient temples and beautiful landscapes. You will be back at your hotel in time for lunch.

This is a great activity for avid birders as well as for those with an interest in nature, birds and history that want to experience the area in a relax and responsible manner.
