    Hi! Looking for a local birding guide in the Lake District for next March. Puyehue, Pucon, Bariloche and San Martin de Los Andes would be the spots we could use help at. Thanks!

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Wanted to update the record on Guillermo who guides out of Jardin. His phone and laptop took on water so he was without electronics for a week which is why I couldn't reach him. We are back in contact and hoping to nail down an itinerary soon. So far my conversations with him have been great...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    This is great. I'm going to look into these lodges. Nelson himself isn't over budget. Getting to Quito is a nightmare on the dates we have to work with. It's going to cost a fortune for flights that don't have us bouncing all over. So it's the flights that really get us a tad over budget...

    Oaxaca Professional Guide

    Appreciate it the suggestion! How is birding in Oaxaca? I'll be traveling with my son so safety is really high on the priority list. We also prefer to stay in nicer lodges/hotels/BnBs with good food... is that doable in Oaxaca? We've only done one international birding trip and that was to...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Hi Heydn, Guillermo completely ghosted me so I'm back to square one. He was going to send me an itinerary when he got back to the office but he never sent it. A week later he hasn't responded to my texts or calls. I hope he is ok. So now I'm back to square one. I have a really solid...

    Oaxaca Professional Guide

    Hi, Does anyone know a professional guide in Oaxaca that they can recommend? My 13 year old son and I are looking for international trip ideas and I heard great things about Oaxaca. We want to do this as safely as possible so are willing to pay a premium to have a guide with us at all times...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Thanks to everyone for all the great info! Heydn, I have gotten a hold of Guillermo and he seems like a great guy. He hasn't sent me any pricing or itinerary yet while a couple guides in Mindo did so just trying to compare apples to apples. Hopefully he sends me something soon...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Temmie, Many of your suggestions interest me. I've reached out to 2 guides in Mindo but neither have gotten back to me. I'm in contact with a guide for Manizales area but no details shared yet so open to other ideas. Do you think Santa Marta area would check more of our boxes than the...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    I guess my point in the mentioning "food" is I know some birding lodges can be really rustic. I liked that in CR we were in the rainforest and yet we were still staying in nice places and eating good food and we had hot showers, etc. etc. We don't need fine dining. I just like how comfortable...

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Bingo! I ruined birding for us by doing Costa Rica on the first trip. It was almost too good and too much fun. Now it's like how I do I find an encore that can compete :)

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Japan, Morocco, India... all bucket list for me. Issue I have is we only have 7-8 days for this trip. I don't think I could do any of those locations justice in that amount of time. Great suggestions though!

    Need Father/Son Birding Trip Destination Idea

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. My son (13) and I love to bird. We took our first international trip to Costa Rica this year and had a blast (Got both Resplendent Quetzal and Bellbird, along with 229 lifers). Shout out to Jehudy Carballo who is an excellent guide. We had so much fun. I want to...
