The Yucatan Bird Festival "TOH" takes place in a state which has traditionally served as the region’s cultural center. It’s a perfect place to combine birds with visits to Maya archeological zones and rural indigenous communities. Join us for well-packed three days of birding in company of local guides. Yucatan is home to 445 of the 543 bird species registered for the entire peninsula (Chablé-Santos y Pasos-Enríquez, 2010.; Wood, 2010; MacKinnon, 2005).

There are exhibits and conferences in the colonial City of Merida prior to going afield. An important and fun part of the festival is the birding competition for all levels of abilities called xoc ch’ich – word in maya that means "bird count".
