Nothing defines Las Alamandas more than its exquisite natural setting and abundance of wildlife – and the jewel in the crown is the extraordinary variety of birds that can be seen here, living in their natural habitat. Las Alamandas is a paradise for bird lovers because it is like an enormous open-air aviary. Las Alamandas is located in an undeveloped region of Mexico known as the Costalegre where 270 different species of birds have been identified, notably many rare and colorful tropical ones.
Black Ibis, Osprey, Barn Swallows, American Coot, American Crestel, Nothern Jacana and numerous others roost in the trees and gather on the banks of the lagoons and the river, the Rio San Nicolas. Occasionally, rare and exotic birds visit such as Pink Flamingos and Roseate Spoonbills. Great Brown Pelicans fly a few feet above the Pacific fishing for their next meal, Frigate Birds swoop in expansive circles overhead, Blue-Footed Boobies and Brown Boobies do their legendary mating dance, and Thicket Tinamous announce their presence with their hauntingly sweet call. Islets that dot the coast are bustling rookeries for thousands of birds.
To bring this natural spectacle into full view for guests, Las Alamandas offers personalized bird-viewing excursions conducted by local biologist Marisela Lazareno, a leading expert on the regional bird life. Ms. Lazarena developed her expertise studying, researching and helping preserve the biodiversity of the region, working with universities, ecological organizations and eco-tourism programs. The bird-viewing excursions are individually planned for each guest to meet their personal expectations and preferences. On the excursions, guests may hike forest trails, visit sweet-water lagoons and sail to island rookeries.
On the private trails and waterways of Las Alamandas, guests can focus their binoculars on a San Blas Jay, Red-Breated Chat, Mexican Parrotlet, Golden Vireo, Sinaloa Wren or Orange-Breasted Bunting, as well as perhaps spot a wild boar, white-tail coati, deer, badger or giant sea turtle laying eggs in the sand (where they will be protected through Las Alamandas’ successful Turtle Protection Program). The opportunity to experience inspiring, one-of-a-kind, bird-viewing excursions at a luxurious hideaway on the Mexican Pacific is one of the unique features that set Las Alamandas
