Es war eine super Tour. Unser Guide hatte sehr viel Ahnung und das Essen war sehr lecker. So viele Vogelarten zu sichten erlebt man nicht oft. Vielen Dank!

Olinguitos, giant earthworms, and Plate Billed Mountain Toucans Oh My! My incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and friendly guide, Gabriel Raza, took me up and down the western slope of the Andes for an amazing adventure seeking out all the natural treasures this part of Ecuador has to offer. He expertly took video clips of the special birds we found through his scope with my cell phone which are the best souvenirs I could ask for. As a woman travelling alone I could not have felt safer and more cared for on this trip.
