North America

Today we relocate from the glitzy beachside of Puerto Vallarta to the bird rich mountains and Rancho Primavera to spend a couple of nights there

In the afternoon we take our first swim at the hotel beach followed by a long walk to Playa Los Muertes and back

The highlight of all festival trips this year has to be the trip to Rancho Primavera with many rarities and endemic species

A relaxing evening becomes quite tiring as we have to change our car on the other end of Puerto Vallarta after attending the festival lectures

Last part of the tour is at the Butterfly Sanctuary which is unexpectedly interesting with lots of local butterflies

On the second day of the festival our tour is taking us to the Laguna El Quelele to see birds and crocodiles

We finish the day by visiting Los Arcos and Yelapa, enjoying a beautiful sunset and watching whales, macaws and other birds

Our second stop at the Botanical Garden is longer than we expected but it is worth it due to the many special birds visiting the feeder

Full day spent exploring Puerto Vallarta’s Malecon and downtown area

Arriving in the afternoon in Puerto Vallarta we spend the day near the hotel exploring the beach and eating at a beachside restaurant enjoying the sunset
