This is during the peak of the migration, with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of migrants counted daily. Besides viewing the River of Raptors, we will watch birds in numerous other habitats ranging from the beach to wetlands to mountainous highlands. We will also visit several archeological sites, shade tree coffee plantations, and the colonial city of Xalapa. In 2006, HWI's main tour group documented more than 270 bird species, with more than 40 additional species seen on the optional Catemaco extension.
