I’ve just completed a very detailed trip report for the Puerto Vallarta area. Our group was based there for two weeks January 2006, and as this area continues to be ill-served by trip reports, I decided to go a bit overboard on this one.
We stayed at a resort 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, in the town of Bucerias, Nayarit State. During our two weeks we made visits to the following sites/areas:
State of Nayarit:
Bucerias
El Guamuchil
Laguna de Quelele
San Sebastian del Oeste
San Blas
Islas Marietas (Marietas Islands)
Rio Ameca
Punta de Mita
State of Jalisco:
El Tuito
The report, in particular, provides considerable information regarding El Guamuchil, San Sebastian del Oeste, and Laguna de Quelele, including maps for the latter site. I’ve also created provisional species lists for five sites, in downloadable PDF format: El Guamuchil, Bucerias, Laguna de Quelele, San Sebastian del Oeste, and El Tuito.
I hope this report will provide much needed assistance to anyone vacationing in the Puerto Vallarta area, and I think it demonstrates that the area is a worthy birding destination in its own right, and not merely a budget vacation destination.
The report may be found by going to the following web site,
http://maybank.tripod.com/Mexico/Nayarit-Index.htm
and choosing the Jalisco & Nayarit - Jan 2006 Birding Trip Report.
I welcome any comments, suggestions, mentions of errors, etc.
Safe travels, and good birding,
