The Yucatan Peninsula is one of the premier birding destinations in North America with over 500 species of birds.
Birding is relatively easy in the Yucatan peninsula, both in terms of climate and terrain. Because of the popularity of the Riviera Maya, Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, flights are numerous and inexpensive from North America and Europe. The major birding areas are safely accessible by rental car on well-maintained roads.
