Great Birding and Wildlife Tour Close To The City

Alex_L, Dec 2025

Rafael is an amazing tour guide! His knowledge of nature, history and friendly attitude is truly appreciated! Also, as an amateur photographer, he was very helpful in providing photography tips. Highly recommend his tours!

There's more than birds

patricia_m, Jun 2024

Sometimes nature doesn't cooperate and you may not see the birds you came to the park to view. Ipen your eyes to other gems and things work out! I did this tour as a solo as others cancelled and it gave me the opportunity to see butterflies, monkeys, spiders and learn how to optimize my c as meta and lens. Rafeal was kind, respectful and felt bad we could hear birds but they didn't come close. My one fault with the tour was he didn't use a green laser pointer. I did enjoy myself and it is a beautiful park

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hello Patricia. We are glad you enjoy the trip and happy hature colaborated during the walk. About the lasser it is true the lasser pointer can be a good tool to pintpoint the objective more rapidly. Some guide dont like to use it in respect to the fauna and surroundings but i will try to talk to Rafa about it. Thank you again and Good Birding!
