Testimonials

Julio is an amazing guide who showed me around the Choco region for 10 days. ( 20 January to 29 January 2026) His knowledge of birds, of their sounds and of the region is unmatched. Together with his family he is running a 100% Ecuadorian based company and lodge. I can only recommend him.
