Jungle Bird Watching
In Central America, Guatemala is the best bird watching destination there is. That's partly because there are near to 700 bird species in the Guatemalan jungle alone. Some of the rarest birds on the planet can be found in the jungles of Guatemala and the Yucatan Peninsula.
Birds and Mayan ruins
Deep in the jungle, there are just as many wondrous aviary species. The Guatemala jungle has a particular appeal to tourists, because there are other things to do and sights to see. For one, the prospect of hiking and seeing the teeming wildlife in the tropical jungle is beyond simply exciting. It's exhilarating. The diversity of birds in the tropical jungle is, of course, still the primary attraction to tourists.
If you think that the fun and adventure would end in birds, you got it all wrong. When you tired of watching the birds, there are a lot more places to visit, like the vast archaeological ruins of Guatemala.
Talking about tourist attractions, you can go bird watching in various places in and around Guatemala, other than the jungle. There are many reserves and protected areas for birds. The Sian Ka'an Reserve and Bioshpere is a good place to start.
Serious Birding
If you're serious about having a great adventure and you love birds, but are not sure what to bring with you, there are just a few things to straighten out first.
The accommodation is an important consideration when planning your trip. It's advisable to plan your trip in advance and arrange your lodgings before your pack your bags. If you're in the city and far from jungle, it's also not a problem. You can make reservations on the Internet, or drop a visit to the nearest travel agency in your area.
If you're going bird watching, it's important to know which things to pack. Bird watching isn't like a simple hiking trip. If you really want to keep a good record of the birds you've seen, there are photographing gadgets and audio equipment that you can bring along with you. Birding isn't just about watching the birds. It's also about listening to them. Birds are very vocal creatures, and their audacity is something you should never miss out on, when you go bird watching.
Friends: Although birding is generally a peaceful experience, it's still nice to have a bunch of friends with you on your weekend getaway. Don't forget to ask them to come join the excursion.
