Thank you (Charlie) for an amazing Southern Ecuador trip...  So many beautiful birds, perhaps the Long-wattled Umbrellabird was the most amazing.  Thanks again for your skill and patience and we would definitely recommend Andean Birding to our friends. We have birded throughout the Americas and you were bar none the best guide we have had.

Jean and I want to convey again our very big, very emphatic thank-you for a truly wonderful birding trip.  Your birding skills and knowledge of the natural world are awesome.  And your affability and good humor make being with you a great pleasure.  We had a terrific time.  Hope to see you again.

Hello Charlie…you were my guide for 4 wonderful, bird-filled days in the cloud forest.  The visit to the Galapagos was great, my sister and I enjoyed it greatly, hope to go back to visit your area in the future. Again, thank you for an amazing time, you are a great guide.

I would like to express my gratitude for a great trip October the 24 to Yanacocha, Bellavista and Mindo Loma and, especially, for professional and excellent guiding by Boris.

Almost a surrealistic experience to bird the Andes with you (Charlie). For such a short visit, you managed to fit me into several key enviro-habitats… It was a wonderful, fast and furious trip that without your and Sherry's support would not have been nearly as interesting or productive. I also feel that I may have, in some small way helped to support the Andean Birding effort to continue offering world class birding…Thank you so very much for your kind generosity and incredible birding savy.

Great birding - fantastic scenic vistas. Jonas is not only a superb bird guide, he is also very patient with clients who have trouble seeing skulkers. He is very personable and a joy to be with in the field.

The trip that you organized for me was I think one of the best of my birding life. I especially enjoyed the part in the Andes with your wonderful, pleasant and experienced guide, Boris.

I could really recommend Andean Birding which has Skilled and very nice guides and excellent knowledge. Furthermore You'll have no problem with language or logistics whatsoever with them.

…the trip was terrific… we cleaned up and exceeded our own expectations. Boris' knowledge was very impressive. Thanks for organizing a wonderful trip - everyone was kind and friendly, and our guides know an amazing amount about the birds of Ecuador. I got 315 lifers out of the trip, which just blows my mind!

Roger did a superb job finding specialities and making sure we saw them (he was outstanding at that!). My friend, a neophyte birder, came away totally committed to birding. Roger was also an agreeable companion, and we learned a lot from him. Thank you!
