With roughly 1,000 species of birds, Mexico is a birder's paradise. It borders the Sea of Cortez, the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, with jungles, plains and deciduous forests in between. From the northern Sonoran Desert through the high mountain ranges of the Sierra Madre to the valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico showcases more bird species than the United States and Canada combined. The area around Mazatlan offers much of that bird-rich environment.

Mazatlan, Mexico

In the state of Sinaloa, Mazatlan is known as the "Pearl of the Pacific". Just a two-day drive from Tucson, Arizona, Mazatlan is a favorite destination of tourists from around the world. Offshore, the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, and sunshine and warm weather are found year-round. Fishermen are drawn to the abundant marlin and dorado, and enormous succulent shrimp are featured on the city's many menus.

Mazatlan lies just south of the Tropic of Cancer, on the ocean and within a day's drive of the high montaine forests of the Sierra Madre. This unique combination of life zones, climate and environment reward the adventurous birder with a wealth of birdlife, residential, endemic and migratory.
