Spectacular! - The visit to Panama is not complete without a visit to this lively natural park and our guide Mario was amazing, did everything to show us as many birds as possible. We highly recommend! We love the experience. Helena and Pedro.

Birdwatching at the Pipe Line, Panama - We had a wonderful time birdwatching with Mario. He had a lot of knowledge and was enthusiastic to show us as many birds as possible. He knew the location of several birds that we would never have found on our own. One of the highlights was visiting a snack place where he had set up feeders for hummingbirds and other fruits for different birds. He even gave us snacks there while we rested and observed the multiple birds. The experience is highly recommended.

Go birding with Mario! - We had an amazing experience in a morning with Mario! We saw over 50 species— 20+ were new lifers for us. Mario worked to help us find the species which we were most interested to see— plus he went above and beyond in giving us free coffee, empanadas, and fruit. He has a space to use clean bathrooms while watching feeder birds too. He was very conscientious about our physical abilities. He is an excellent teacher and guide and a kind soul.

What a day! - We can' t say enough good things about our birding trip with Mario. He is knowledgeable, entertaining, and enthusiastic, not only about birds, but about life in Panama in general. We saw many species of birds that we would never have seen had it not been for Mario's keen eye. There are a lot of birding guides and businesses in Panama, but I'm sure there is not a better value than an excursion with Mario.

Best rainforest bird spotting tour ever - This was a truly amazing experience. Mario has a keen eye for birds and animals. My wife and I saw 50+ species of birds in about 3 hours, along with sloths and even a group of coatimundi. He is deeply knowledgeable about all the wildlife in the area and its history. I think we might only have seen maybe 10% of the species on our own. His knowledge of the area and the individual bird calls is a sight to behold. His spotting scope brings the birds up close and personal. He is kind and generous with his time. The tour included a stop for coffee and empanadas, which was so welcome given our 6 am start.

Amazing tour! - Had an amazing tour with Mario, I can definitely recommend doing it! He showed us so much and gave us so many informations not only about birds, about other animals and the country itself. He spotted things you could never see in just a walkby

A+ birding and photography experience - "Panama with Mario" at the Pipe Line (along the canal ecosystem) was a very satisfying birding and photography experience. Mario is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and sensitive. I will recommend him in a heartbeat. Toucans, antbirds, motmot, chachalaca, a ringed kingfisher with a catch, tiger heron, slaty-tailed trogon, cacique, manekin, hummers, ...and more.
