About 20 minutes south of Tulum, we have the opportunity to enjoy an incredible bird diversity, learn about the current Maya culture and the ancient Maya civilization as we walk and look for birds in the village and archaeological site of Muyil.

We explore different habitats in the village with different types of vegetation: mature semi-deciduous jungle in the archaeological site of Muyil and some fresh water wetlands as we walk through flooded jungle using a boardwalk until we reach a fresh water lagoon.

On this tour it is possible to identify from 40 to 80 species of birds (depending on the time of the year).

There is also the possibility to add a boat trip across two lagoons and a lazy river floating experience to this tour.

Be aware that if you are the only client booking this tour, we will offer you to go another day or offer you to do the tour in private (230 usd)

The tour was amazing. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, great at spotting birds (we even saw rare ones, and knew everything about the different archeological sites. Would definitely recommend.
We met people that did this tour one year before us, and they remembered it and the guide, another proof that this tour is more than worth doing!

The cost of the ruins, the boat and the swim in the Maya river were incredible ! The guide Alondla, told us a lot about the maya history, and Adan the driver was very helpful. I highly recommend this tour for an afternoon full of memories

This was a wonderful experience, enhanced by Miguel, our guide, who was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Additionally, my wife and I were the only 2 people in the tour, so it was personalized attention. Plenty of birds and bird behavior. Great overall trip.

We had a great time with Carlos. The activities are great even if we would have liked to do more. The day was great. The only downside for the meal.

Had an incredible time with Miguel and Said during our half day birding tour. We paid extra for pick-up/drop off service since we didn't rent a car, and Said was our driver, he was super professional and lovely company throughout the morning. It was so peaceful waiting for the sun to come up and the birds to start chirping with Miguel, who brought us some breakfast and coffee. Once those birds were up, it was ON! Miguel knew great spots to bring us for a diversity of habitats, we saw so many birds even before entering the park. We had a delicious lunch at a local spot and headed into the biosphere. It was awesome to get to see the ruins, local neighborhoods and experience local food. Miguel was super knowledgable and great company, it was nice to learn a bit more about the culture through him and Said. Miguel kept a list of all the birds we saw, we got about 40 - 25 of which were new to me. My head was spinning!

I have been birding for 50 years, but this is the first time I have used a professional guide. The experience was outstanding! Miguel is extremely knowledgeable of the local birds, and knows most of them by sound. The experience was 10 times better than going alone. I have 800 species on my life list,
and added 24 in one day. Highly recommended.

Do not miss this amazing trip, and don't even think about booking without the float portion of the tour. The river float was the best part of our 7 days stay in the area. Miguel from Amar Aves was incredible. His passion for birding, the local people, and the ecosystem was evident throughout the trip.
The included meals were simple and perfect. Be sure you are ready for the sun and bugs... because you are in the jungle! Bring your camera! I brought my Canon Powershot and it was safe and dry during the whole trip. You are able to secure in the boat while you float.
We saw so many beautiful birds (and a snake!) with Miguel's professional eyes and ears. I just can't say enough about how wonderful this whole experience was!
