Irman was an excellent guide. His many years of experience were impressive. Quick breakfast before doing some stationary/walking spotting. Instant ID on every bird we saw. We saw about 30-40 species during our tour.

Marcelo clearly has a passion for birding and immense knowledge as well. We were fortunate to have him as our budding guide in Mindo and were very pleased with the variety of birds we saw. He even extended our tour by about 30 minutes to ensure we were able to one final, and gorgeous bird that we could hear, but took a bit of time to coax it out of the foliate for viewing.

We had the pleasure of doing a night walk with Marcelo and then an early morning bird watching walk with his brother Irman. Their experience and ability are amazing! They can spot a bird or animal from huge distances and know the names and calls of each one. Both were extremely helpful and kind and offered us lots of other suggestions for our trip when we asked. We saw many species of birds, and all got amazing photos some with our own cameras and some through their telescope. They loaned us good binoculars for both walls and flashlights for the night walk. Marcelo did say that they have a hard time getting good binoculars and flashlights in Ecuador and he is willing to trade or buy items like this from his clients so consider this if you are coming from somewhere where this equipment is easy to obtain. My husband and I and our two young adult children really enjoyed both of these tours and highly recommend them!
