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!

We will certainly be recommending Andean Birding to all our friends. Letters of commendation and bird images for your website will follow! We are already thinking of a return trip. I was completely overwhelmed by the species diversity! Thanks again and good birding!
