A really great report from Venkat Sankar, who spent 10 days in Mexico last month and saw a lot of cool endemics most of which I have never heard of!
Mexico, 2016: 10 days & 42 species including Durango Chipmunk, Smoky Pocket Gopher, Southern Rock Mouse, Volcano Rabbit and Mexican Giant Shrew.
Exploratory trips are always like that: all you remember afterwards is endless driving 🙂
True, but the amount of cool stuff you find is still very much worth it…
In my experience, the best trip is usually the second one. Unless the first time you have a lot of time and can explore each location for as long as you want, but that rarely happens.
