“Attending the Bird Festival changed the way I think and the way I see the world we live in. I’ve met people from different parts of the world that come to celebrate and enjoy nature, learn to take care of birds, the names of species, where they live and how important it is to respect them.“

— Agustina Murillo

History

The first Bird Festival was held in 2015 in La Chorera, a community close to the Punta Mazo Nature Reserve. It was a small event aimed at the people of the community where they learned about birds through different activities.

With the goal of reaching more people, each year the festival has grown and expanded its offer. To date, more than 1,000 people from Baja California and the United States have attended the festivals and learned about the importance of protecting the birds of San Quintin.
