New ecotourism attraction in Zihuatanejo, showcases biodiversity of Mexico
There are more than 170 countries in the World
, yet out of these, twelve alone harbor in between 60 and 70% of the total biodiversity of the planet and thus earn the privilege to be called megadiverse. Mexico is one of them.Carol Canter of theSan Francisco Examiner writes about a new ecotourism attraction in Zihuatanejo calledEl Refugio de Potosi, a 45-minute bilingual guided tour where adventurers of all ages can "get up close and personal with local flora and fauna".
"Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks whistle while they waddle into the Turtle Pond for their morning dip. GreenMilitary Macaws andYellow-Headed Amazon Parrots 'converse' at amplified volumes. TheChachalacas, which resemble wild turkeys, are even more boisterous!," writes Canter, adding: "Jewel-likecolibris shimmer in the sunlight, their tiny wings aflutter like high-speed engines.Three types of thesehummingbirds are found only in the Mexican states ofGuerrero, where the refuge is located, and in neighboringOaxaca".
This might also be your best chance to view safely behind a glass,boa constrictors,scorpions and even marvel at the impressive 60-feet long skeleton of asperm whale.
A crocodile program is also planned for later this year.
El Refugio de Potosi is a non profit venture, developed and funded by contributions and many volunteer hours, that has earned the support of the tourism community in Zihua and which has become a popular stop on eco-tours such as the serene early morning kayak / birdwatching trip on the lagoon atEl Refugio de Potosi offered by Zoe Kayak Tours (2)
