Reliable company

Jose does a great birding tour! His English is very good . On my birding trip I logged about 50 birds on ebird. His company does all kinds of trips even cooking classes!!

More birds than expected

Matthew_M, Mar 2020

We didn't know what to expect since the wetlands and lake we only 30 minutes from Cusco. However, the amount of birds we saw in just a few hours was amazing. We saw more birds than expected (40+) and our guide Oscar was excellent and knew a lot about all the birds. He even maintained a list of the birds we saw and gave it to us at the end of the trip.
