Quinta Mazatlan
 
Resaca de la Palma skyview Welcome to Quinta Mazatlan—a luxury birdhouse!
A 1930’s country estate in the heart of McAllen, Quinta Mazatlan is an historic Spanish Revival adobe hacienda surrounded by lush tropical landscaping & native woodland. A unique conference & events center, close to airports & hotels, Quinta Mazatlan is also an urban oasis, where quiet trails wind through more than 15 acres of birding habitat.

The Land
Formal tropical gardens surround the 10,000 square-foot mansion, and are enriched with native plants as living demonstrations of what any backyard birder can achieve. Outlying acres of wild Tamaulipan thorn forest have been enhanced with water and bird feeding stations to make them even more attractive to wildlife.

Our Birds

Quinta Mazatlan attracts many of the favorite “Valley specialties” found no place else in the country. Plain Chachalacas nest in the palms, and Common Pauraques, Clay-colored Thrushes, Green Jays, Buff-bellied Hummingbirds, and Olive Sparrows can be seen regularly along with occasional tropical migrants.”
