        Interesting bird watching - This trip was great with Benjamin. He was really knowledgeable about finding the birds by their calls and had a scope to show us and take pictures. We saw many interesting birds.

        Great birding tour in Tepepul ! - I had a great birding tour with Benjamin in mirador of Tepepul. We saw 28 species including motmots, emerald toucanet, crested guan and of course the quetzal. We were able to observe 2 male quetzales which flew from branch to branch in front of us.
Benjamin has extended knowledge about the birds of the area.
I highly recommend to book a tour with him and I won't hesitate to contact him if I come back to lake Atitlan to go explore an other location like los Tarrales.

        I'll just keep going with GUAN!!! - On this trip to Guatemala, I went birding with Benjamín of GUAN 3 times, making a total thus far of 6 excursions. Each time I am left very satisfied! This time I returned to both Rey Tepepul (where we enjoyed an extended siting of a male Quetzal!) and Tarrales. We also went to Chuirixamolo. I think my favorite destination is Tarrales, as there are so many types of wildlife. The only place I've ever seen agoutis (those curious little mammals) has been in Tarrales. Benjamín is always patient and interested as I try to identify plants and butterflies there. Tarrales is also the least demanding physically as it's relatively flat. The creeks and lagoon lend it a very tranquil feel. 
As always, Benjamín's knowledge is vast and impressive and his patience as I struggle to see the birds is apparently inexhaustible. Fortunately, his equipment is very helpful for seeing the winged wonders!

        Enjoyable birding in the city - Even though in the city of SanJuan, we saw 26 species of birds.  Our guide was excellent and, the group very small (just me).  This is a wonderful birding opportunity for solo travelers looking for a simple bird watching opportunity.

        Experienced birder - we saw a lot and learned alot - Excellent birding tour near the lake.  We saw 26 species in about an hour and took many good quality photos through the scope.  Edgar knew the birds well and  explained differences between related species and migration patterns (where applicable).  He was also knowledgeable on ecological and cultural issues.  In short, he was a nice, articulate guy with a multitude of knowledge.

        Excellent quetzal viewing tour. - I recommend Benjamin 100% for bird watching. Today I visited the Mirador Rey Tepepul reserve with transportation from San Juan included. Together with Cruz they guided an excellent tour. They gave us information about birds in general and finally we saw two quetzals:) I would definitely hire this service again. Thank you so much!
