5Wonderful birdwatching experience with Marcello
Wonderful birdwatching experience with Marcello in Mindo — truly 5/5. He and his wife picked us up early in the morning and took us to their beautiful observation spot high in the mountains. Everything was calm, organized, and very personal. With coffee, tea, and telescopes ready, Marcello guided us quietly through an amazing variety of birds — hummingbirds, toucans, and many more. His knowledge of the area and the birds is incredible.
5Perfect intimate bird viewing experience in private reseve
Perfect. We saw many beautiful species. Guide very competent, kind and generous. He has the eye. He recognizes the species by their call the locates them with his scope. He served us fruit, bread, coffee tea.
5Wonderful experience in Mindo!!!
Marcelo is a wonderful guide with some much knowledge of birds. I visited his private reserve and saw toucans, hummingbirds, and so many others I can’t recall 😊. Coffee and a light breakfast are provided. Please book this experience when you are in Mindo!
5Great Family Birding Experience
Our family had such a special experience with Marcelo. We left early and were able to see many different species of birds. Marcelo had so much information to share with us and was able to spot so many different birds hiding in the forest. We were grateful for the time we shared with him and his wife and all of the knowledge of the area he shared. We will come back for another tour with Marcello in the future!
5Fantastic bird guide!
We birded with Marcelo for 5 days. He arranged everything and it was an exceptional experience. He not only is great birder but he knows and shares so much more. About the plants, the culture and how to digiscope with your phone. He’s a master of that too! After 5 days we consider him a friend and look forward to seeing him again.
5Marcelo is your man!
An early start, and due to the steady overnight rain we were a bit ambivalent about that the experience would hold. A slight drizzle as we set off, and by the time we got to the viewing platform, it was overcast but dry. Marcelo had binoculars for everyone, so we didn't have ti share, which certainly added to the experience. There were hummingbirds aplenty, but the "main attractions" were a little slow off the mark - due to the damp weather. However, once the tanagers and toucans came into play, it was amazing!! We saw soo many! After about 90 minutes at the platform (including coffee and rolls) we went for a walk, and Marcelo was able to show us a quetzal and a cock-of-the-rock. Also saw an agouti and a tayra near the platform. All in all, an awesome morning!
