The company communicated very well about our pickup time, arrived promptly, and... read more it was only a twenty-minute drive from our Excellence Riviera Resort to the birding site. We appreciated the small group size of six participants. We walked on rough roads in the Yucatan back-country, our exercise tracker recording about 7000 steps, with a stop halfway through for snacks provided by Lugo. We are casual birders, and Lugo was very helpful to birders of all experience levels on our tour. Lugo recorded all 47 of the bird species we observed on “ebird”, and sent us the list after the tour, which included Red-throated Ant-tanagers, Yellow-throated Euphonias, Black-headed Trogons, Turquois-browed Mot-mots, Pygmy Owls, many others. This trip was a memorable present for my 70th birthday. Highly recommended!

He was excellent! He took us to a few different spots and he identified over 50 birds for us in... read more the couple hours we spent walking through the trees. 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!
