Mario was a great guide....

5.00Mario was a great guide. He was on time, and knew just the spots to take us to see toucans, monkeys, woodpeckers, a sloth, caymans and so many other birds (probably 40 or so). He had a lot of information to provide when I had questions, and was flexible to focus on finding what we were interested. I wouldn’t have seen 1/5 of what we saw without him! Would definitely recommend this for birders and naturalists. He helped us get great photos !

5.00We had a wonderful time birdwatching with Mario. He had a lot of knowledge and was enthusiastic to show us as many birds as possible. He knew the location of several birds that we would never have found on our own. One of the highlights was visiting a snack place where he had set up feeders for hummingbirds and other fruits for different birds. He even gave us snacks there while we rested and observed the multiple birds. The experience is highly recommended.
Great birding tour

5.00We had an amazing experience in a morning with Mario! We saw over 50 species— 20+ were new lifers for us. Mario worked to help us find the species which we were most interested to see— plus he went above and beyond in giving us free coffee, empanadas, and fruit. He has a space to use clean bathrooms while watching feeder birds too. He was very conscientious about our physical abilities. He is an excellent teacher and guide and a kind soul.
What a day!

5.00We can' t say enough good things about our birding trip with Mario. He is knowledgeable, entertaining, and enthusiastic, not only about birds, but about life in Panama in general. We saw many species of birds that we would never have seen had it not been for Mario's keen eye. There are a lot of birding guides and businesses in Panama, but I'm sure there is not a better value than an excursion with Mario.
Best rainforest bird spotting tour ever

5.00This was a truly amazing experience. Mario has a keen eye for birds and animals. My wife and I saw 50+ species of birds in about 3 hours, along with sloths and even a group of coatimundi. He is deeply knowledgeable about all the wildlife in the area and its history. I think we might only have seen maybe 10% of the species on our own. His knowledge of the area and the individual bird calls is a sight to behold. His spotting scope brings the birds up close and personal. He is kind and generous with his time. The tour included a stop for coffee and empanadas, which was so welcome given our 6 am start.
