Hi, Cade:
To be clear, you are asking only for information regarding travel possibility, yes? Because you are
You do not seek opinions on your goal itself, correct?
With that in mind, may I kindly allow as to this perhaps may not be the right venue for that? By its very definition, iNaturalist is dedicated to nature rather than the safety of particular countries, etc. I think this is likely why others have offered their opinions from the perspective of nature.
If you look at the description of “Nature Talk”, the category where you posted this, you will see that it states, “This category is a catch-all for nature-related topics that aren’t directly related to iNaturalist. It’s not a place to get help with identifying your nature observations (that’s what iNaturalist itself is for!).”
If you click the “read more”, you will land here, which clarifies in even more detail what this category is – and is not – for.
I think people may be suggesting other places you could perhaps see high numbers of species or even many of the same species to try to bring your topic more in line with what the purpose of the forums are.
Some may express incredulity at your goal but when I read it, it reminded me greatly of a post I saw a few days ago about Pokemon and iNaturalist, of all things. I smiled and thought, “Ah, he wants to catch them all!”
Saludos from Mexico, where we have many wonderful species to explore,
Lucy
