Birding with Lugo - My boyfriend and I booked a birding tour with Lugo. He was excellent! He took us to a few different spots and he identified over 50 birds for us in the couple hours we spent walking through the trees. He made the drive to the birding area from Cancún really comfortable for us with thoughtful touches by bringing coffee and croissants for breakfast. The majority of the birds we saw were in the first area we went to and within the first 1.5 hours. Definitely an early morning but worth it to catch all the action! Highly recommended to experienced and novice birders alike! Five stars for Lugo!

Birding, Biking and Boating! - We combined two of my favorite things, Birding, and Biking, along with a boat tour to the mangrove swamps. Carlos has excellent knowledge of all the birds in the area and was really good at spotting them and using their calls. I added at least a dozen lifers, including pigmy owl, bare throated tiger heron, and broad billed heron. The boat tour through the mangrove swamps was amazing, we saw lots of birds and even the courtship ritual of two crocodiles - what a special sight.

Wonderful birding tour in Cancún! - Carlos our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We saw many different species of birds and Carlos was very patient and answered any and all questions that we had regarding the birds. We were so happy to see a Motmot on this tour! Our tour was in English and Spanish, which was perfect for my husband and I. We also stopped and had a snack at a roadside restaurant and we had a lovely time. We absolutely loved our experience, and Carlos was truly a delight!

Great Birding Expedition! - My wife and I were very pleased with our guide, Lugo, for our Birdwatching Cancun expedition this February. The company communicated very well about our pickup time, arrived promptly, and it was only a twenty-minute drive from our Excellence Riviera Resort to the birding site. We appreciated the small group size of six participants. We walked on rough roads in the Yucatan back-country, our exercise tracker recording about 7000 steps, with a stop halfway through for snacks provided by Lugo. We are casual birders, and Lugo was very helpful to birders of all experience levels on our tour. Lugo recorded all 47 of the bird species we observed on “ebird”, and sent us the list after the tour, which included Red-throated Ant-tanagers, Yellow-throated Euphonias, Black-headed Trogons, Turquois-browed Mot-mots, Pygmy Owls, many others. This trip was a memorable present for my 70th birthday. Highly recommended!

Highlight of our trip! Thanks Lugo - This was the perfect birding excursion from Cancun. Transportation was seamless. Our guide was such an expert and helped us spot over 40 species in just a few hours. I will do this every time I’m in the area. I can’t say enough good things

45 bird species in 2 hours. - Lugo was a great birding guide! We saw 45 different species of birds that were new lifers! He recorded the entire list for us so all we had to do was look and watch the birds! He had a great laser pointer that was helpful in pointing out the birds so we could see them before they flew away. Hope we get and opportunity to com back!

Definitely Book It! - We had a fantastic time with Carlos who gave us a little history mixed in with a lot of knowledge on local birds. We are beginner photographer/birders and Carlos was gave us some lessons and helpful pointers and catered the tour to our level since it was just the 3 of us. Loved seeing 58 different species including the motmot, toucans, parkeets, trogan, woodpecker, hawk, hummingbird, flycatcher, oriole, warblers, and bunting.
