Carlos is an extremely knowledgeable guide. We had great success with the birds and also learned a lot about the area and its history. My family of birders will remember this for a long time.

He’s not just... read more a guide—he’s a passionate birder, incredibly knowledgeable, and one of the most enjoyable people I’ve birded with.

Thanks to Carlos’s keen eyes and deep familiarity with the area, I was able to see 50+ species in one trip—including Toucans, Motmots, Trogons, and so many other tropical gems I’d only dreamed of seeing before. Every stop was intentional and productive, and Carlos tailored the trip to match my birding goals perfectly.

As if the birding wasn’t enough, Carlos also took me to a small, authentic mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant tucked away from the tourist areas. The food was phenomenal—a quick refuel with rich flavors that gave us the energy to get back out there and bird some more.

This was truly a top-tier birding experience—professional, personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommend Carlos to anyone who wants to see the real avian magic of the Yucatán!

He made the drive to the birding area from Cancún really comfortable for us with thoughtful touches by bringing coffee and croissants for breakfast. The majority of the birds we saw were in the first area we went to and within the first 1.5 hours. Definitely an early morning but worth it to catch all the action! Highly recommended to experienced and novice birders alike! Five stars for Lugo!
