Ganztägige Vogelbeobachtung und Naturtour

We just finished a 2 day tour last week, starting in the Villa Serrana area on day 1, and then heading up the coast from Punta del Este to Laguna de Rocha on day 2. As others have already noted, Rafa is very knowledgeable in ornithology, natural history in general, and Uruguay, and is shares his knowledge very generously. His keen ears, eyes and instincts provided us with a memorable birding experience, and his friendly and easy manner extended that experience to all things Uruguayan. The tour was completely self contained, with transportation and snacks included. Since we were having to book a place to stay one night anyway, we just made sure to find an appropriate place for the night between the two tour days. I would highly recommend this tour for both birding, and getting out into the Uruguayan countryside to learn more about Uruguay.

I can't say enough great things about the tour operator, Rafael Tosi! I am from the United States and am not a birder. Rafael put together an eight hour tour for 3 of us. He picked us up at our hotel in Colonia and initially took us into farmland outside town and then onto privately owned La Arenisca Natural Refuge. During the course of our outing we were able to spot 51 different species of birds. Rafael took photos and kept a birding species checklist and shared these with us. He provided a wonderful, and substantial, snack of traditional Uruguayan food. We also were taught how to prepare the mate drink. Rafael speaks excellent English, is very engaging and humorous. I appreciated the extensive communication he provided before, during, and after the tour. He provided us information about not only birds, but of Uruguay, its flora, culture, and social norms. It was evening by the end of our tour and on the way back to our hotel, Rafael stopped to identify the stars of the Southern Hemisphere for us. It was unbelivable fantastic. We bonded as friends during this tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. It was a great introduction to Uruguay. Rafael is a great representative of the best of Uruguay.

Uma linda oportunidade de passear pela cidade fazendo algo que momento nenhum imaginou fazer, admirar os pássaros da região, ouvir os cantos, e porque não interagir com um deles. Você pode ser surpreendido com a aproximação de um, que canta para você. Simplesmente lindo! Eu tive essa surpresa! E tudo isso com um guia que esforça para falar com você em sua língua, vale a pena conferir!
