Isaak was a great guide for this tour! It was great getting to get out of Asunción for a while and see some of the country. Seeing all of the birds was so much fun and I would definitely recommend for people who enjoy birding and wanting to get out of the city for a bit.

Great birding experience

Charles_G, Mar 2024

Excellent and remarkable

jfmusialek, Feb 2024

This tour is a must if your in Asuncion!!!The tour guides are knowledgable and love what they do and it makes for a special trip. Í had delicious empanadas in the middle of the palm savannah in the Chaco. The humid Chaco is great and we got to see many birds and nature. Truly recommend. Even had a chance to see the Sun set over the Chaco and a full moon come out. Joseph musialek this tour is a must do!

So many exotic birds! Great information from the Guide and Driver!

This trip is well worth the money. Seeing the land and birdlife outside of the city of Ascension made the trip to Paraguay worthwhile My guide, Isaak, and the driver, Inez, were both very helpful and informative. Isaak was extremely knowledgeable about the birds and plants in the area. He took great photos of the birds and shares them with the clients.

Great birding trip

Brian_T, Jul 2023

The trip to the Chaco was great! The guides are expert ornithologists and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the local birds. The scenery of this area is very interesting and worth seeing for its own sake. Breakfast was most agreeable. An excellent morning and excellent service.

Thanks very much Brian for your review! It is great to know that you enjoyed our tour! We will be waiting for your return!

Absolutely awesome trip in the Chaco

Karl_M, Feb 2023

This was a fantastic tour, and I would recommend it to others. Alberto was an expert and could easily name all of the birds we saw. He was also a great source of information about the Chaco region in general. We chose the early morning option and we’re not disappointed. Saw tons of birds, and also enjoyed the beautiful Chaco countryside. We are not massive bird watchers, but we still highly enjoyed the trip. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the Chaco for a bit during their time in Paraguay.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks very much Karl! It was a pleasure for me to do the tour with you!

A must do experience

Campbell_H, May 2022

I had a fantastic time!! I saw so many great birds and the nature was lovely. The breakfast was great too, I felt like I was really taken care of! If you're thinking about doing this tour, you should!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks very much Campbell for your nice words! We are really happy that you enjoyed our tour!

Disappointed

Sharon F, Oct 2019

My guides were very knowledgeable about birds and English was good but the tour itself was disappointing. There was no breakfast other than a bag of store bought chipitas. We spent most of our time driving down a dusty rural road. Yes, I did see birds but this trip was not as advertised and not worth the $160.00 charge.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Dear Sharon, My sincere apologies about the dissapointing tour!!! Unfortunately we were not able to take you to the farm , where we usually do this tour, as farm´s road was on mantainance. This change of itinerary, I think altered the quality of our tour!! About the breakfast, I will be checking and adjust with the guides!! We usually do a stop on a gas service in our way to the farm, to have a coffe, juice and sandwich, and we take chipitas, usually some soda, and fruits for a midmorning breakfast. Sorry again and really expect that in the future we could offer you a better services.

Paz y verdor del Chaco
