Plus Monarch butterflies
February 18 – 25, 2024
Birdwatching is a wonderful means to discover Mexico City and its surroundings and get the essence of this remarkable place. On this tour of discovery, we explore parks and reserves that span several distinct habitats both within the urban area and around its fringes. February is particularly good time to be here as Monarch butterflies hatched in Canada and the USA are overwintering nearby. Potentially millions of Monarchs cling to trees at the Piedra Herrada reserve! This region is one of the best places to see the jaw-dropping Mexico endemic Red Warbler, as well as a multitude of colourful highland birds.
Wander along a colonial avenue leading to an opulent castle in one of the largest urban green spaces in the world where warblers and more flit. Sit back and enjoy local food and waterbirds while drifting in a boat along pre-Hispanic canals in ancient lake Xochimilco. Wander among succulents and oaks in Sierra de Guadalupe State Park watching for roadrunners and songbirds. These habitats provide an alluring contrast to the hustle and bustle of urban life. All along, enjoy delectable Mexican cuisine from all the country’s regions.
