Client Testimonials

"Benito guided us on a wonderful birding trip into the mountains north of Oaxaca. Our group four was of widely varying birding experience and Benito designed a trip to satisfy all of us. We saw a number of endemics and hard to see species but also got many great looks at more common species that some of us had never seen. Benito was enthusiastic, instantly identified species by both eye and ear, and was always helpful in locating individuals and pointing out field characteristics. He's also very knowledgeable about botany, local culture, archeology, and Mexican history. I can heartily recommend him as a guide."
"We were thrilled to have our 16 day itinerary expertly customized by Benito Hernandez. From our arrival in Oaxaca city, we were immersed in Oaxacan culture and lifestyle . Benito was our guide for the entire trip. A native of the state and city of Oaxaca, he spoke knowledgeably and passionately about the history, the people, the customs, the cuisine and the regions we traveled through and to. All this and Benito is also a very experienced birding guide who took us as we had requested to forests, mountains, wetlands, ocean-side and town parks as well as national parks and archeological sites like Monte Alban to see as many new Mexican birds as possible! We thank Benito for making every part of the trip more exciting and wonderful than we could have imagined!"
