Trip Description
Our eleven-day tour covers the highlights of this enchanted and rich area of West Mexico. We can expect a phenomenal variety of remarkable birds with dozens of different hummingbirds, wrens, tanagers, warbler species and many more.
​
The tour starts in the beautiful Pacific coast of Manzanillo, in the state of Colima where our quest for coastal lowland specialties begins. From there we head up north to the cool montane forests where we will enjoy searching for birds like Red Warbler, Colima Warbler, Green-striped Brushfinch and more. We will also explore the Colima volcanic complex which is the most prominent volcanic center of the western Mexican volcanic belt. It consists of two volcanoes: Nevado de Colima and Colima Volcano also known as Fuego Volcano.
