Yucatan Bird Festival

The 7th annual Yucatan Bird Festival is taking place this month, from November 13 to 16. The objectives of this festival include promoting the rich diversity of bird species found in the Yucatan and developing a conservationist culture among tourists and tour providers. Activities will include field trips, conferences, photographic exhibits and a "bird-a-thon." Events will be held in Merida, Celestun and the archaeological site of Uxmal.

The Yucatan Peninsula is home to over 500 bird species, and besides being an excellent destination for birdwatching, visitors can also enjoy beautiful beaches, water parks and ecological reserves.
