Crocodile & bird watching in Puerto Escondido

45 minutes south of Puerto Escondido, find “La Ventanilla.” As soon as you arrive, you’ll be introduced to the distinctive features of the village and the crucial role that ecotourism plays in supporting the local community.

Following the introduction, take a 10-minute walk through the lush jungle that surrounds the lagoon. Along the way, the expert guides will point out different wildlife species and share intriguing facts about the local flora and fauna. Open your eyes wide: you might spot baby crocodiles, snakes, or colorful parrots even before reaching the boat!

Step into a small rowboat for a calm, serene ride through the mangroves. As the guide rows, you’ll have the chance to see wild crocodiles basking in the sun or gliding gracefully through the water. The mangrove ecosystem is rich with life, offering opportunities to observe various birds and other animals.

This tour gives you a rare opportunity to observe crocodiles up close in their natural environment. These magnificent creatures, ranging from a few feet to several meters in length, are truly awe-inspiring. In addition to crocodiles, you’ll also encounter iguanas, turtles, and a variety of bird species.

Throughout the tour, the local guides will provide insights about the animals and their environment. You’ll learn about the diet, behavior, and unique traits of the American crocodile, including its ability to grow back teeth up to 50 times in its lifetime.

We prioritize your safety above all else. The guides are well-trained to ensure that every part of the experience is safe and enjoyable for all participants. We maintain a respectful distance from wildlife and follow all necessary safety protocols to guarantee a memorable and secure adventure.

Don’t wait to live this unique experience.
