Not only will you uncover birds of all shapes, sizes and colors, but you may spot iguanas, crocodiles, turtles and other wildlife. A bilingual guide will escort you, pointing out wildlife hiding in the trees.Spot wildlife along multiple ecological trails

The Ixtapa path you'll walk is minimally traveled, so animals are less likely to be in hiding as you hike. You'll pass wetlands with freshwater marshes, thorn forests, lagoons, trees towering more than 100 feet, and salt water along a paved walkway, jetties and bridges.
