Wonderful Birding Experience in Cancun. Do it! - We had the best morning bird watching with Lugo!! He was so warm, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. In April, I had thought I'd be lucky to see 35 birds. We saw over 50 species! He told us his English wasn't very good but I disagree! I learned so much from him and had no problem communicating. I loved that he seemed excited to find each bird and talked about them all, even though I'm sure many were common and maybe not that exciting for someone who lives there all yhe time! He was wonderful about checking in to see how my 73 yo mom was doing on our trip and made sure we were going at a pace that was comfy for her. This was an unforgettable experience to share with my mother, who instilled a love of birds in me. He shared drinks, snacks, and took us for a local quesidilla. I wish we could bird with him everyday!

Fabulous birding in Cancun! - Carlos was fantastic! He helped me see 44 new lifers on the tour (56 species in all). He knew the birds instantly and was great at pointing them out. He was also very friendly and was as excited as I was to see these birds! His mimicked bird calls were also very good he truly did his best to insure my success. He shared photos too!

Great birding experience! - Lugo is an exceptional guide and we saw over 40 species of birds, including a ferruginous pygmy owl he worked so hard to find! What a great experience, hope to be back again someday. Highly recommended

Super fun and well organized! - Lugo was excellent! And he knows his birds. Nearly 30 lifers in one day. It's been over twenty years since I've been able to say that! Fantastic tour.

Incredible Time - This experience was phenomenal. Lugo was very knowledgeable and passionate about birding. The drive can be a little long depending on where you get picked up. We were picked up in Punta Sam and the drive was roughly 2 hrs one way. It was well worth it though.

Wonderful Birding Toir - Carlos took me to several birding spots and I had wonderful experience over there. I had opportunity to take shots for over 20 different birds and most of them are first time to see. I will come back again next winter.

Awesome - Carlos was FANTASTIC. He not only knew the birds, he knew something almost more important—where to find the birds. Highly recommended. We recorded over 60 species yesterday morning, not counting some others which he heard. Some of the birds were stunningly beautiful.

Many birds - The morning after a rain - many sightings (56 species ) with a knowledgeable guide - Carlos. I was skeptical at first as we walked through public streets but had some great views.

Great birding! - Carlos picked me up on time, we picked up 1 other person and then he took us to 4 different spots. We saw 50 different species including Pygmy owl, tucans, motmot. Carlos spotted them all! Was very knowledgeable. Wasn’t the most scenic places but great for birding! Was very glad I went !
