Great birding guide!
jpalmerhaha, Jan 2025
Mauricio was an excellent guide and had a spare pair of binoculars for us. Despite gray drizzly weather he found us many birds. Super knowledgeable and helpful. We were thrilled to find afterwards that it included breakfast too!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that Mauricio made your experience enjoyable despite the weather. His knowledge and attention to detail truly make a difference. And yes, the breakfast is a great bonus! We appreciate your visit and hope to see you again for another adventure.
Amazing experiencewith a super knowledgeable guide

We had an amazing early morning of birdwatching with our guide Mau. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the birds that were there. We got binoculars and he also brought a telescope to see the birds in great detail. It’s really cool to see how diverse the birds are in the area and how much you can see when you pay attention. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.
Fantastic and informative!

Our tour guide, Mau, was very knowledgeable about all the local birds and was very enthusiastic about each one. I am not a birder myself but he made it fun by being so excited about all the birds we saw. I was also grateful he shared all the great photos he took through his telescope with us as I don’t have a good camera. Overall it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth getting up at 4:30am for!
Disappointing

The guide was not a bird specialist so he was barely able to show us anything we couldn’t have found on our own. His bird identification was at times questionable. The breakfast was bare minimum. Nothing special. The Maleku village visit was non existent regardless of the fact that it was a selling point in their brochure. Reception staff were sullen. Horses looked sickly.
