Wonder - Walking in this breathtaking nature and seeing all kinds of birds so beautiful and what I especially liked a lot was the Tucans! I am amazed and I will have a hard time describing it in words, you really should come to Mindo to see with your own eyes and feel this nature that gives us great peace. The guide is really very professional and kind and it is for the customer's attention, exceptional Service and explanation, I recommend it without a doubt!
Thank you Irman for this unique experience!

Great guide wonderful experience! - Irman was a great communicator starting months before our trip and everything went incredibly smoothly. We got to see some incredible birds. He was very knowledgeable,patient and made it such a fun experience. At the end of the tour, we were supposed to see quetzal , but that didn’t work out. Birds are birds. Irman at no charge made a plan to meet us again later in the day and spent hours trying to get us that bird. He really cares about the experience you’ll have. it’s not just a job to him. He knows the birds extremely well so he would be a good choice for beginners all the way through to experts who want to add to their life lists

Wealth of knowledge and expertise - Irman is incredibly knowledgeable and took us to some great locations for some truly memorable birds. If you are serious about birds, Irman is your guy. His bird calls even fooled our Merlin app.

Bird diversity in Mindo Equador with Irman - Irman was wonderful, very helpful and knowledgable. We were able to customize the day for what we wanted to see and photograph. We had no less than 3-4 different areas we visited. We photographed a wide diversity of birds from Toucans to hummingbirds and more. Lunch was fabulous and we made the most of the time we had returning around 5:30pm. If you start from Quito it will take about 1+30 to get to Mindo via taxi where the adventure starts. We left at 5:30am.
Definitely a must do when in Equador !

Took care of everything for two days of wildlife - Irman was incredible - he arranged everything for two intense days of birding, picking me up from Quito, visiting the birds of Antisana, and then to Mindo. He was relentless in making sure I got the shot of all the rare and unique birds we saw, he calls to them while we walk around, he is truly the birders' bird guide. Several times we were at a location and a guided group would show up, and Irman would explain details of the situation or species to THEIR guide. Additionally, I asked him to go on a night walk in Mindo, and he was happy to guide that too! Nothing but positive things to say, I would love to come back and spend more than two days with Irman (and the driver Elison).

Biodiversity of Birds - A nice experience as the Guide had extensive knowledge about the flora and fauna that exists in Mindo Parish. 100% RECOMMENDED @Irman Arias.

Great Morning of Birding - Irman took our family (2 adults and 2 kids) out to see a lek of cock-of-the-rock, toucans and all sorts of other birds. He was very communicative and easy to work with. Patient and great with the kids. Provided extra binoculars and his spotting scope was especially great for the kids. His knowledge of birds is extensive. Would definitely recommend Irman for your birding adventures!
