“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.

“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.

“Excellent couple of day tours booked prior to a trip to the Galapagos. Can not say enough good things about Ecuador Birds Tours. Communication pre, during and post trip with Diego was fantastic. Miguel was an excellent guide and kept an ebird list for the group, allowing us to focus more on the birds and behavior. I cannot wait to return to Ecuador and book a longer tour” Nick Hammil group.
