Curi Cancha Birding Blast

Caley_O, Apr 2022

Had a great morning birding with Beto who really knows his stuff. We added so many birds to our life list! Many thanks to Beto who was knowledgeable, friendly and worked hard to find some really secretive birds we would not have otherwise seen.

Excellent! While I’m not a birder , I wanted to see the Resplendent quetzal, so I booked this tour. Jason our guide was awesome! We saw so much, the Resplendent quetzal( actually several both male and female) , toucanets, keel billed toucan, 3 owls and so many other amazing birds. not to mention a tarantula. Jason was super knowledgeable, and so pleasant. He got excited when we got excited . You can tell he loves his job. this tour isn’t just for the hard core birders. Enjoy!
