The bird island of Chacahua is on the way to Chacahua. It is called Bird Island because it is a small collection of islands and mangrove trees where only birds live. There are several trees that are colonised by different types of birds, I saw pelicans and, of course, stones sticking out of the lake with bird shit on them and a small flock of birds circling over one of the trees.
My driver also drove past it more slowly, allowing me to take photos and discover this cool thing about Chacahua that I didn’t know before about. If you book a mangrove tour, see if you can include the bird island – and also a viewpoint that can only be reached by boat. Or you could hire one yourself, but I don’t know if you’d find your way around on your own. It’s quite a labyrinth there 😀
Go or not? Solo and only for the island, no. On the way there or as part of a tour, yes.
