    BRILLIANT BIRDING!

An awesome enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides, Miguel, Carlos, and Marcelo. Looking forward already to return to enjoy great birding. The lodges were all excellent and great food.” Ken.

    An extraordinary memorable experience

    2025
    Australia

    I participated in a 3 week experience organized with Diego and Ecuador Birding Tours. The trip was well planned and I loved the Condor lookout where there have identified 48 perching sites and we counted six birds flying. I liked how they partnered with other local residents to see their hummingbirds and ant wrens, toucons etc and the choice of hotels was first class. Diego is committed to reforestation and protecting the environment. It was a memorable trip thanks to Diego and Birding Ecuador” Diane.

    “Such a great experience. Our personal guide loves his work and was very resourceful at getting us and the birds together. He has 20+ years experience. Plus – he’s a knowledgeable photographer and knows about lighting, angles, and other necessary details! Diego went above and beyond what was required. Thank you Diego and Ecuadorbirdstours.com!” Bobby and family.

    Amazing Hummingbird Tour

    2025
    EEUU

    Amazing trip set up by Diego, I did four days of “Hummingbirding” and saw 38 species of hummers. The food was delicious with good sized portions at the lodges and at the restaurants we stopped at for lunch along the way. Overall a great experience with Ecuador Birds tours and I’m already booking my next trip to return only 7 weeks after I left Ecuador on the first trip. I highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours! Thank you Diego and Miguel!! Chris Drakis.
