Birding with friends - us and our tours

🤜🤛 Friends first..

Valente, Ben, and the other guides that help us along the way are from a tight-knit group of friends that have been birding together for years.

..and we try to bring that feeling to our tours - birding with friends who just happen to know every vocalization in Chiapas.

🏫 Community Conscience
→ We run birding workshops for local communites, especially those near threatened habitats. The goal: help young people value their local wildlife - and inspire their parents to do the same.

🌍 Multilingual guides
→ Our group of mixed culture guides includes a Mexican-Dutch hybrid and a tea-drinking Londoner.

Together we speak English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, and even some French.

Smooth communication in English and perfect Spanish can bring you closer to the local cultures we encounter.

🤝 Local Impact
→ We keep money in local hands, staying in guesthouses and eating at places like Don Alex’s, whose home overlooks the threatened Comitán wetlands.

We guide because we're obsessed with birding, and this is basically our excuse to do more! We spend our weekends together trying to find new species for Chiapas and we aim to share that experience with you.

🌲 Beyond the Beaten Track
→ We reach remote regions and keep scouting new areas so you see birds few visitors ever do.

🛡️ Safety First
→ Mexico and Chiapas are wonderful for birding, and perfectly safe in all areas that our tours visit. We have friends and contacts across Chiapas who give us real-time updates to ensure that remains the case.
