WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Our birding trip in the Andes Mountain cloud forests of Ecuador has just ended, and we cannot say enough about this amazing adventure led by our brilliant, passionate guide Juan Carlos Crespo of Macaw Birding Tours. Angie and I loved learning about these beautiful birds and photographing them in their lush, remote habitats. Also, thanks to our good friends Anders and Beverly Gyllenhaal for recommending this trip and for your incredibly important work to raise awareness about the world’s vanishing birds and how we can protect them.

Muchas son las opciones viajeras en este mundo de los pájaros, pero creo que pocas o ninguna ofrecerán tantas especies icónicas, famosas y en definitiva míticas como un país situado justo en la línea que divide al planeta en dos mitades. Ecuador ha supuesto personalmente un antes y un después en lo que se puede esperar de unas vacaciones pajareras. Cada rincón de este país ofrece aves nuevas e increíbles, de esas con las que se sueña desde que las descubres en un libro. El bosque nublado de Mindo, las alturas andinas con sus páramos bajo la mirada del volcán Antisana, la espesura de la ladera andina oriental y la húmeda selva de la región del Tena fueron el escenario donde descubrir decenas de colibrís, tangaras, tucanes, loros y otros cientos de especies. Nada de esto habría sido posible sin la excepcional e intachable labor de Juan Carlos Crespo, al que puedo llamar amigo más que guía. A él debemos esta experiencia tan sublime y este repertorio tan extraordinario de aves que recordaremos toda la vida. Si queréis viajar a este rincón del planeta, creedme, es vuestro hombre.” José Marquez
