Contoy Excursions

Contoy Excursions is a Yucatán-based operator running a dedicated three-day birding expedition through the peninsula's Mayan forest, mangroves, and coastal salt flats. Tours depart from Cancún-area hotels and visit Valladolid, Las Coloradas, Río Lagartos, and Cobá, including a night-birding session and access to the Mayan jungle interior. Guides target the Yucatán's endemic and near-endemic landbirds alongside the wintering North American migrants and Caribbean waterbirds drawn to Río Lagartos. The tour roster reportedly tops 400 possible species across the loop, with American Flamingos at Las Coloradas as a signature draw.
