The Nest

The facility spans across 80,000 square meters, recreating five distinct ecosystems including jungle, forest, desert, grassland, and wetland environments for bird species.

The Nest opened to the public in 2000 after biologist Jesus Estudillo Lopez transformed his wildlife conservation center into an environmental education facility.

The conservation center houses over 200 bird species, including the Quetzal, which held sacred status in pre-Hispanic cultures of Mesoamerica.

The entrance fee of 270 Mexican pesos supports conservation efforts, with guided tours available for visitors to observe and interact with various bird species.

The Nest achieved the first successful breeding of Quetzals in captivity, marking a major advancement in protecting this endangered species.
