Yucatan and Chiapas are one of the best areas in Mexico for a mammal tour. Beside the common species like White-nosed Coati, Agouti, Pecari, Spider Monkey and Howler Monkey there is a chance for 5 cat species. Although of course these secretive mammals are not easy to see more than 15 years ago on one of our Yucatan-Chiapas birding tours we encountered our first pair of Jaguars. Needless to say we forgot to look for birds and watch these beautiful animals for hours how they courted, played with each other and even mated in front of us. Although we can not promise to repeat this experience on our every tour we know when and where to go if we want a high chance to see a Puma, a Jaguar, a Margay, an Ocelot or a Jaguarundi.
The unique geology of the Yucatan peninsula with thousands of caves partly filled up with water and special habitats are inhabited by more than 50 species of bats, most of them endemics of the region. We know places where you can witness incredible number of bats circling out from a cave, so many that there are traffic signs for drivers to slow down!
