EJIDO EL MAGUEY

Located in the heart of the Sierra Madre Occidental, the Ejido El Maguey is one of the only places in Durango, if not the only one, where we can observe the Thick billed parrot Rynchopsitta pachyrhyncha. In addition because of the great topographical broken range and different altitudes of the mountains,  you can also watch a large diversity of mountain and Quebrada birds, including the Cyanocorax Dickey.

This first trip in the Maguey region is one of many that we will be doing to explore the area and to conform El Maguey Bird List, which we think will be one of the most interesting of Mexico, we will also fish for an endemic trout in the crystal clear water of the mountain creeks.

This expedition, is a great opportunity to travel in the mountains of Mexico in an exciting adventure where you can leave all the details to us, with experienced guides that will make you stay with us, one than you can remember with pleasure forever.

 

Arrival at Durango's airport,  where we will be expecting you,  transfer from airport to Hotel Casablanca right in the historic down town area with colonial buildings of more than 300 years of antiquity, possibility of an evening tour of the city,  register and dinner at hotel.

Early in the morning we check out of the hotel and start on our trip, through the Sierra Madre along the Durango Mazatlan Highway and Coyotes to San Miguel state highway. lunch on the way of a four hour drive. set camp and observe afternoon birds around the Anqueta camp site. dinner around the camp fire, and on the the tents for the night.

Early in the morning and after a quick cup of coffee, we go in search of the thick billed parrot and other high mountain birds come back to eat a late breakfast lunch and after some free time we continue to watch for low mountain or "Quebrada" bird. come back for maybe a trout dinner and on to bed.
