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.

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!

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!!
