We have certified guides in bird watching and history of the Mayan culture. You will not only visit incredible places but you will meet wild animals that live in the ruins; you will surely meet some primates that live in the area.

I went on a birdwatching tour to Dzibanche ruins with Victor and I must say WAUW!
He made the day really special for everyone. Rarely have I seen such enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism combined.
We got a lot of knowledge about the Mayan culture and history while seeing seemingly endless amounts of colorful birds with Victors binoculars.
Highly recommended and I will not hesitate to go on another tour with him next time around.
Thank you Vic!

Highly recommend a bird watching tour with Victor! We had a fantastic time birding near Bacalar! Victor identified several birds including the Squirrel Cuckoo, Yellow-lored Parrot, and Black-headed Trogon. He took us to some great bird watching spots and we learned a lot about the different birds in the Yucatan. Victor loves photography and sent us some photos of some of the birds we saw (see photos). We had a wonderful time learning about endemic birds, some of his favourite bird watching spots, his culture, stories, and love for nature and protecting it including turtles and jaguars. We would book a tour with Victor again in a heartbeat! Thank you for all the laughs, your passion for nature and wildlife, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! 😊

We had an amazing experience with Victor as our guide. The Mayan ruïnes in the jungle were beautiful and we could clime them. We saw a lot of birds such as toekans and also some monkeys! We were the only tourists there. We were offered fresh fruits, nuts and water after. Would definitely recommend!

One of the best adventures of my life, I’ve never felt so apart of the landscape and in step with nature than I did here in dzibanche . These ruins have this energy about them that I really could not understand until Victor so knowledgeably explained the history and the culture from the jungle floor to the tops of the temples. And even spotting a family of spider monkeys and tons of different birds along the journey . Thank you so much for such an incredible experience

Victor is the best guide ever! He took us to ruins of Kolunich for a birding tour and we saw over 30 species and learned an amazing amount about the Maya and this site as well. His expertise and enthusiasm for both were unparalleled. Truly a memorable experience and highlight of our Yucatán travels.

Excellent very knowledgeable guide Victor who is very passionate about the natural world and Mayan history. We did a bird list that had some fabulous species Including five species of woodpecker, 2 trogon species, black cowed oriole, scaled pigeon, gray hawk and aracari. Great conditions in the setting of the ancient Mayan ruins. Easy walking, beautiful area.

I had a wonderful, exciting time on the tour along the way and at the Kohunlich Mayan ruins!
Victor, die guide, is extremely knowledgable and loves his work!
He tries to fulfill every wish!
Skillfully by imitating the call he lures the birds closer!
He makes a list of the sightings of the different species that you get!
In Kohunlich, a wonderful area of impressing ruins, you can still hear interessting things about the Mayas and their buildings!
I can only recommend this tour!
For all nature lovers, and those who might want to become one an absolute "have to do" when staying near or in Bacalar!

I thank Mahahual Ecotours for the opportunity to meet someone who really enjoys what he does: Victor Rosales. His life story, knowledge of ornithology, universal history and particularly of the Mayan culture, nurtured this beautiful kayak tour in the mangrove swamp!!! Definitively, the conservation work that Victor does with the jaguar in the region, the nesting of turtles and the mangrove fauna deserve recognition and support.

Victor is awesome! So knowledgeable both of the natural wonders of Quintana Roo and the deep history of the Mayan people. He led us right to some epic bird sightings including a toucan, a xxx, and my favorite, the Montezuma Oropendola. We originally scheduled a one day trip but were lucky to catch Victor on a slower week so we added a second day. You like to take and see epic photos? Victors got them. You like learning about local ecology and history, Victor has you covered. Can’t recommend more highly.

Victor took us on two birdwatching tours during our vacation in Bacalar. We are active birders and he was an excellent guide for us. He has an extensive knowledge of the birds of the Yucatan and can identify them by call and by sight. He has worked with local landowners to find great sites for seeing many different bird species and he didn’t stop until we had completed an outstanding day of birdwatching (59 different species seen over the two days with him including 31 lifelisters). He tried hard to find birds of particular interest for us. As a bonus he was also able to describe the history of the Mayan archeological sites when we visited them as part of the tour. Added to all this he is a great person and was great for beginners and experts (some of our party were birding for the first time). An outstanding experience and we definitely want to meet up with him again for more birding next time we are in the area
