Unforgettable day! - We totally enjoyed our full day tour with Josefina! She was so knowledgeable about birds, mammals, geography, Santiago and Chile. We learned a lot of interesting information while spotting over 30 different birds, including 6 cute Burrowing Owls in one den, raptors and the Chilean Condor. We were amazed at the 60 switchbacks on the road up to 3000 metres and our picnic high up in the hills. Highly recommend.

Excellent birding with Ecordua - We found Ecordua when searching for a birding tour from Santiago. We learned that Ecordua is committed to 1% for the Planet, which is an important responsible travel commitment for us. We were very fortunate to have Joaquin Cordura as our guide. He arrived promptly at our hotel the day of our tour and went over our options for the day. We chose to go to the wetlands and to the Andes. (Joaquin was a very good driver.) What a day! The wetlands were gorgeous and we were thrilled to identify 30 species. Then off to the mountains where we marveled at condors, eagles, and caracaras. Later Joaquin found a scenic overlook for our picnic - wine, appetizers, sandwiches, and chips. A lovely way to end the day. Thanks Joaquin!

A beautiful day in nature - Camila brought us to the Batuco wetland nature reserve, where we saw many birds and animals around the water and reeds. We saw two burrowing owls, sietecolores, a coypu (not a bird but a rodent that looks like a beaver), many cormorants, egrets, and birds of prey. We loved walking on the boardwalk over the water and slowly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and sounds of the birds. Lastly, we enjoyed a picnic lunch with special wine and treats. It as an experience we will remember for a long time, and Camila was a wonderful guide, who taught us many things about Chile and the natural world here.
