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!

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!

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.
