Great birding, beautiful place

AnneElizabeth_P, Dec 2024
Eddy, my guide, was excellent. He lead me to great views of all the specialties of the area and I got great photos of the Ecuadorian Hillstar. I wouldn’t have seen any of it without him

A great experience, primarily...

Gary C, Feb 2018
A great experience, primarily because of our guide, Edison Edy. He is Extremely knowledgable, not only about birds... which is the purpose of the trip after all, but also willing to share his expertise on plants and wildlife. Edy customizes your trip to fit you. This is not an outdoor adventure performed by rote. Rather your guide if it is Edy, expands the tour to accommodate your interests and abilities. And, at 12,000 ft. Elevation your abilities WILL be a factor. Edy will make sure that you see birds. You will also have a most enjoyable tour. Oh yes, he is fluent in English.
