Birdwatching Guatemala

Birdwatching Guatemala is the dedicated birding arm of Martsam Travel, a Guatemala-based operator with offices in Flores (Peten) and a US contact line, in continuous operation since 1994. The team specialises in scheduled and custom itineraries targeting Guatemala's roughly 766 recorded species and its strong roster of regional endemics. Classic routes combine the Maya Biosphere lowlands around Tikal for Ocellated Turkey, Orange-breasted Falcon, and tropical forest species with highland circuits via Lake Atitlan and Tecpan for Pink-headed Warbler, Horned Guan, Resplendent Quetzal, and Goldman's Warbler. Tours typically run as 7- to 14-day departures with local bilingual guides.
