Frequently asked questions

How long does the visit take?

Count on a half-day: an early walk through the Arboretum while birds are most active, followed by the Museo Ixchel del Traje Indígena, a short walk away on the same campus.

Do I need to bring my own binoculars?

No. We provide quality binoculars for every participant. You're welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer using equipment you know.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable walking shoes and light layers for the Arboretum trails, and a change into something a little smarter for the museum. Water, a hat and sunscreen are recommended.

Is transport included?

Transport is optional, not included by default — you can add it when booking. If you select it, we pick you up from your hotel and drop you back afterward.
