I cannot recommend going birding with Vidal enough!! He is an amazing and passionate birder who loves to share his bird joy with others. We began the morning by walking around Sayulita and saw 38 species in just 3 hours! He taught us some history of the birds as well as pointing out the endemic species. He is a skilled birder by both sight and sound. After our walking tour we said goodbye to the couple that joined us and hopped in the car to see raptors! We traveled to agricultural lands to find various raptors, and WOW we hit the jackpot. Vidal was very determined for me to find my target species. We made an extra stop to check for falcons and even stopping on the side of the road to see a Zone-tailed Hawk! I would have never been able to find these birds on my own, without a car and more importantly, without the local knowledge Vidal has from living here and birding for over 20 years.

Read moreI’ve been out with Vidal twice, back in 2021 and again this year. I’ll be sure to go again the next time I’m in Sayulita.
Trips with Vidal are perfect for the serious birders trying to catch ‘lifers’ or spot endemic species - your goals become his goals. If you have specific species you want to see, make sure to reach out in advance so he can plan. Also, he has a huge network of birding friends and will help you build the perfect birding itinerary.

I also thoroughly recommend a trip out with Sayulita bird watching if you have (young) kids, Vidal knows exactly how to make it fun and appealing to kids! It’s the perfect way to tire them out enough so you can sip your...
Read moreIf you love birds and want the best birding guide who knows the Nayarit countryside inside and out (and will find you endemic and endless birds for hours) you’ve found the one! Vidal was very knowledgeable, took his time to explain everything in-depth, and asked questions to find out exactly what we were looking for so he could pinpoint the right locations for us.
Vidal added to our experience of Mexico with stories and facts about the area, people, and fauna/flora including introducing us to authentic Mexican food.
