Wildlife Viewing in Mesoamerica
Mesoamerican Ecotourism Alliance

Mesoamerica is incredibly rich in wildlife being the crossroads of both northern and southern hemisphere species. In this overlap we find over 1000 species of birds, 70 mammals, and many reptiles and amphibians. While all our trips have a wildlife viewing component, the itineraries below are particularly exciting due to location and/or local wildlife phenomena.
