A morning in La Paz begins with the slap of tide on rock and the low chatter of gulls as you step into an air-conditioned vehicle at the malecón. The guide steers toward fringe mangroves and tidal flats where shorebirds cluster on exposed mud and raptors quarter the bright horizon. You’ll move between quiet wetlands and scrubby shoreline, each stop promising a fresh call—mangrove warbler flicking through low branches, a reddish egret stalking shallow pools, or a yellow-footed gull loafing on distant sandbars.

Conservation
