Testimonials:

"Thanks a lot for a great trip - actually super trip! … in the beginning I was not so sure about your quality organization with ProAves/EcoTurs of the trip, but you all proved to be very efficient, and above all the work with Juan Carlos Luna was very good. Juan is one of the best guides and person in general that I met in recent years... Thus, thanks a lot to all of you." Hadoram Shirihai – Israeli ornithologist

"Very good preliminary trip to Colombia, with complete feeling of safety, and very interesting presentation of ProAves conservation work." Josep Hoyo – Editor, Handbook of the Birds of the World

"The birding was amazing and I don't think I've ever seen so many fantastically rare birds in such a short time”. Nick Athanas - Tropical Birding

We had a wonderful time in Colombia it was two of the best weeks of my life”.Ron Hines - New Mexio
