The guides were all extremely knowledgeable - not only of the birds, but also the terrain and other animals on the safaris. The use of local guides is a strong plus for Neblina's management of the trip. The main bird guide, Xaviar, is one of the best I have worked with in my 15+ years of birdwatching internationally. Lodging was more than comfortable and still within my budget, and food was delicious. Kudos to Neblina for a great trip.

Xavier was a fantastic guide. He made every effort to make sure we got to see all the target species. All the trip arrangements were perfect. All the accommodations were comfortable and clean. The group was simply amazing! The food was delicious. Thank you very much for a once in a lifetime experience!

Marlon picked us up on time from the hotel, and we bird-watched at several locations around the Chapada. He knew the area well and had specific bird species he wanted to find/found at each location. Marlon spoke good English. We would have no hesitation repeating this full-day tour with Marlon -- a wonderful day with a good guide.

It was an amazing experience, all the places, the food and the service too

Neblina Forest put together a day trip for us from Quito to visit the Chakana Reserve, which is home to about a third of Ecuador's Andean condor population. The reserve is about 30 miles from Quito, and is a great place to visit to get out of the city for the day; it is a special place for birders and photographers. Our guide, Roberto, was an expert on the natural history of the area and shared many stories with us. We saw condors perched on the cliffs and flying near us, and we got great views of a very special hummingbird, the Ecuadorian hillstar, which is only found in mountain grassland above 11,500 feet. After a full morning of birding, we stopped for lunch at Tambo Condor and had an excellent Ecuadorian-style meal. I highly recommend this trip and Neblina Forest for nature enthusiasts - particularly birders.
