Great! - Organized by a couple, this tour is great! They provide long-sighted and binoculars. They're planning breakfast on a lookout. You can see lots of birds (toucans, quetzals, hummingbirds, parrots...). They also give explanations about medicinal plants. They are super nice and attentive. They speak Spanish and English. I recommend!

Wonderful experience in Mindo!!! - Marcelo is a wonderful guide with some much knowledge of birds. I visited his private reserve and saw toucans, hummingbirds, and so many others I can’t recall 😊. Coffee and a light breakfast are provided. Please book this experience when you are in Mindo!

Great Family Birding Experience - Our family had such a special experience with Marcelo. We left early and were able to see many different species of birds. Marcelo had so much information to share with us and was able to spot so many different birds hiding in the forest. We were grateful for the time we shared with him and his wife and all of the knowledge of the area he shared. We will come back for another tour with Marcello in the future!

Fantastic bird guide! - We birded with Marcelo for 5 days. He arranged everything and it was an exceptional experience. He not only is great birder but he knows and shares so much more. About the plants, the culture and how to digiscope with your phone. He’s a master of that too! After 5 days we consider him a friend and look forward to seeing him again.

Marcelo is your man! - An early start, and due to the steady overnight rain we were a bit ambivalent about that the experience would hold. A slight drizzle as we set off, and by the time we got to the viewing platform, it was overcast but dry. Marcelo had binoculars for everyone, so we didn't have ti share, which certainly added to the experience. There were hummingbirds aplenty, but the "main attractions" were a little slow off the mark - due to the damp weather. However, once the tanagers and toucans came into play, it was amazing!! We saw soo many! After about 90 minutes at the platform (including coffee and rolls) we went for a walk, and Marcelo was able to show us a quetzal and a cock-of-the-rock. Also saw an agouti and a tayra near the platform. All in all, an awesome morning!

Incredible birds to see! - We had a great morning of bird watching! We saw so many incredible species, and with Marcelos sharp eye you can’t miss anything that’s around you! We also had a lovely breakfast afterwards, would highly recommend this tour!!
