 Map of Temescaltepec, Central Mexico



Hammonds Flycatcher (Empidonax hammondii) Bumblebee Hummingbird (Atthis heloisa) Tufted Flycatcher (Mitrephanes phaeocercus) Green Violet-ear (Colibri thalassinus) Hermit Warbler (Dendroica occidentalis) Rufous-capped Warbler (Basileuterus rufifrons)

Temescaltepec is one of the areas featured in Howell's A Bird Finding Guide To Mexico as a good place to see swifts. In addition, it is a gateway to some forested areas accessed by dirt roads. Howell downplays the hotel situation, but we found an excellent family-run hotel in the El Baral area called Hotel la Cascada.
