Jose was so knowledgeable, not only about birds and plants, but also history. His love of the jungle, his curiosity and his sense of wonder—infectious!

Toucan fans, this one’s for you!!! 👀🦜

Escaped the crowded Cancún hotel zone and traded pool chairs for binoculars 🔭✨ Huge shout-out to José Gil Paz Gutiérrez for going above and beyond! I couldn’t make the early-morning tour (sleep > sunrise 😆), so José took us on an evening private tour just for me and my guy instead 🙌 I knew there would be less bird activity in the evening, but what we saw was stunning (no pics because both hands were on my binos and my jaw was on the floor 😆). I could not take my eyes off of the toucan who 100% knew he was the main character 🎭 - that beak was a showstopper!🌟… and even got treated to a rainbow on the way back 🌈✨ Thank you Jose for making my inner bird nerd so happy! 😄🦜Work-life balance = binoculars 🔭, nature 🌿, zero emails 📵… 10/10 would ditch the resort again 😆

Great bird tour for photographers!

My bird tour experience was great! I was picked up from my hotel and had a great time looking for birds. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Thanks for the great tour!

Jose was very knowledgeable about birds , wildlife , the jungle. It was a Great trip , we saw 68 birds that included many lifers . The food we had for breakfast/lunch was amazing, the best local food we had on our whole trip . We will contact Jose next time we are in Cancun !

José is the man! Don’t hesitate to book

As a solo female looking to book a birding tour, I was a little worried about my options. However upon meeting José, I was immediately put at ease by his kind, thoughtful, and gentle demeanor. José is hands down the guy you want. While he may not have as many reviews as the bigger guys, he has the best background and tools for an amazing time. His endemic botany background makes him an expert birder, as he knows the in’s and out’s of bird habitats. He even taught me all about Mayan plants and their historical significance in rituals, medicine, and cooking. Thanks to his awesome ears + eyes, I was able to see 43 species despite some pretty rainy weather. What I appreciated about our tour: - José takes care of the eBird checklist in real time and emails it to you at the end. The other tour guide I saw says he remembers them and writes them down later - José used a laser pointer to help see the birds in the thick brush, but does so in a way that doesn’t disturb the birds (points at the lower connecting branch) - José is a local and taught me so much about the city, its history, and even recommended some awesome Mexican bands to check out - He offers round trip transportation and covered a light breakfast and some tacos for lunch Will absolutely book another tour with him when I come back. Thanks, José!

Birds, Birds, Birds!!

José is a truly excellent bird guide. We are “baby birders” and he was so patient with us - helping us to see and log 30 different species! He also offered historical and botanical information as we walked. Totally exceeded our expectations.

Chill Birding Tour in the Heat

Lars_H, Aug 2022

We started out walking some roads that cut through the jungle and saw a fair amount of birds that were new to me, then finished the afternoon with a light lunch and a walk through a well maintained jungle trail with some good and unexpected birds. My guide Sr. Paz took things at a relaxed pace which suited me fine, but might be a bit relaxed for a hard-core lister. I was very happy with the tour and felt I got a good introduction to the birds of the area.
