This is the first part of an incredible tour where we seek to photograph the largest number of hummingbird species in the Andes: eastern, central, and western and approximately 85 species of them. Most places to visit have hummingbird feeders and good perches for great photos. Our guide will not only observe while you take pictures, his work goes further, the installation of flowers, new hangers, good backgrounds, the use of wonderful techniques for taking pictures of the highest quality will be his objective; you will not only have great photos but also some great species.

  • Dress Code
    This is a fairly standard birding tour with early morning starts and evening finishes to each day. One some days we may take picnic lunches in order to no waste time during the middle of the day or having to leave site. The weather can be unpredictable with rain and sunshine both likely. At higher altitudes it can be chilly. We have an amazing photo opportunity for many species of hummingbirds and other species coming to feeders, we will also be looking for a good number of species that are very rare and seldom seen, but we will be going to areas that hold these sought-after species.
