Hiking/Birdwatching/Mangrove

San Blas is one of the main places for birdwatching on the west coast of Mexico due to the diversity of habitats that include: rainforests, sea and beaches, mangroves and marshes, estuaries and lagoons, mountain forests of pine and oak, and islands, all of which host easily accessible birding sites. Within a 50-kilometer radius you can go from one habitat to another, via boat trips through mangroves or by open sea, or just hiking along the typical villages of the coast and mountains. 

According to the World Wildlife Foundation, La Tovara National Park and the San Blas mangrove ecological region is “one of the most important winter habitats for birds in the Pacific, home to 80% of bird populations migratory coast.”
