We had an exceptional experience in Ecuador with Neotropical Nature & Birding Trips. It was our first time doing a guided nature trip and it exceeded all expectations. If you enjoy nature/birding/wildlife, photography, learning, being active on holiday, amazing food and wonderful accommodation - look no further. Our guides Santiago, Jeison and Sebastian were incredible; their depth and breadth of knowledge about wildlife, ecosystems and indigenous culture is awe-inspiring. They are passionate teachers, tireless advocates and nurturing hosts. I can't wait to book our next trip!

We had a marvelous time in both the Pantanal and the Atlantic Forest sections. Many new wildlife memories. Santiago was a wonderful host, being an expert birding guide and making sure every aspect of our trip was comfortable and meaningful. Would definitely book another trip with Neotropical Nature.

Once in a lifetime trip. So many new life birds and amazing animals. Santiago is amazing!!! This is my second trip with Neotropical and looking forward to Colombia next year.

We just completed a wildlife and bird watching tour with NeoTropical Nature and Birding and Trips and it was fantastic. We visited the Pantanal Region of Brazil with a follow-on trip to Foz do Iguacu. All of the in-country travel logistics were well planned and executed smoothly as we travelled between multiple locations. Our primary guide and host for the trip was Santiago Salazar -- he met us at the airport on our arrival in Sao Paulo and said goodbye to us at the airport 15 days later. He was with us every step of the way. Santiago engaged local drivers and guides as we moved from location to location who were equally knowledgeable and operated first rate equipment, safely. Our primary focus for much of the trip was bird watching and photography. I photographed over 180 species in 14 days. Santiago could hear, spot and identify birds amazingly well, and then was patient with us as we asked over and over what species that was. We also focused 3 days for jaguar chasing and had some amazing experiences with Santiago and our local boat guide Helner. Quietly slipping up a backwater tributary of the Cuiaba River it was amazing how close we could get to many species of birds, giant otters, jaguar, caymans, etc. Santiago is passionate about the special ecosystems and the birds and mammals and reptiles that live within those ecosystems. And equally passionate about how our species interact with those ecosystems. His knowledge about these systems and the creatures that live within them was amazing. He showed us that these are special places that we need to cherish and protect. This was our first ecotour and I highly recommend Santiago and NeoTropical Nature and Birding.

Trip of a lifetime!!! Neotropical thinks of all the way to maximize time so we were able to see so many of nature wonders & explore diverse areas! We will absolutely travel with them again 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
