En pocos días volveremos a las montañas con un grupo de buenos amigos, en busca de este ser increíble.
Estos momentos no se buscan, solo ocurren cuando la naturaleza te los permite.

Un oso andino moviéndose en silencio por el bosque nublado, consciente, presente, parte de algo mucho más grande que nosotros.
Por unos segundos, todo se alinea: la luz, el silencio, el encuentro.
Y no estás ahí para tomar nada…solo para ser testigo.

Conecta con nosotros y sé parte de la experiencia.

The Little Woodstar (Chaetocercus bombus) is one of the smallest hummingbirds in the Andes, often foraging low and moving so fast it can easily go unnoticed. And then the stunning Purple-collared Woodstar (Myrtis f***y), flashing that deep iridescent violet color created not by pigment, but by microscopic feather structures that refract light.
Two males, both incredibly small and fast, so easy to miss, yet full of detail if you take the time to notice.
Join us in the field and experience these incredible birds up close.

Some mornings just stay with you.
Up in Papallacta, wrapped in that cold Andean mist, we started the day slowly… scanning the páramo, listening, waiting. Then, almost out of nowhere, a Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe appeared, quiet, perfectly camouflaged, moving through the unique paramo vegetation like it belonged to another world.

We kept exploring, taking in the silence, the wind, the vastness of the Andes…. And later, when the morning was already unfolding beautifully, we had one of those moments you never expect. A female Andean Bear appeared, with her two cubs following closely behind. No rush, no fear, just a brief, intimate glimpse into their world.

This is the ecuadorian Andes. Raw, unpredictable, and full of surprises.

One of the true highlights of our recent expedition to northern Peru was the Rufous-crested Coquette, without question one of the most striking hummingbirds in the region. This small but highly charismatic species is known for its bold rufous crest, contrasting plumage, and rapid, agile flight, features that make both observation and photography especially rewarding.

The Rufous-crested Coquette inhabits forest edges, secondary growth, and flowering clearings, where it often appears briefly and unpredictably. Because of its localized distribution and specific habitat preferences, it is one of the key target species we actively search for on this route.

Our northern Peru itineraries are built to maximize opportunities to observe and photograph specialty and endemic species, while working with natural light, clean backgrounds, and ethical wildlife practices.

If this species is on your wishlist, or if you’re interested in joining a future expedition focused on hummingbirds and Peruvian endemics, feel free to leave a comment or send us a message. We’re always happy to share details about upcoming departures and custom trips.

There are encounters you dream about for years, moments you imagine without knowing if they will ever truly happen. Meeting the Marvelous Spatuletail is one of those moments. An endemic hummingbird of Peru, a bird so extraordinary that when it finally appears in front of you, words simply fall short.

In that instant, you don’t know what to feel first, awe, disbelief, or something deeper and impossible to describe.

This is more than a sighting. It’s one of those experiences that stay with you long after you leave the forest. Moments. This is the kind of experience you can live on our tours in northern Peru, home to some of the most iconic and endemic species of this incredible country.

We truly hope you can join us soon and experience moments like this for yourself.

Un colibrí endémico del Perú, tan extraordinario que cuando finalmente aparece frente a ti, las palabras simplemente no alcanzan.

En ese instante no sabes qué sentir primero: asombro, incredulidad o algo más profundo e imposible de describir.

Esto es más que un simple avistamiento. Es una de esas experiencias que se quedan contigo mucho después de dejar el bosque. Momentos como este son los que puedes vivir en nuestros tours en el norte del Perú, hogar de algunas de las especies más icónicas y endémicas de este increíble país.

De corazón, esperamos que puedas acompañarnos pronto y vivir momentos como este por ti mismo.

There are places where the landscape is not just a backdrop, it’s part of the story.
In Torres del Paine National Park, every sunrise and sunset feels cinematic: jagged peaks glowing with first light, endless steppes painted in gold, and silence broken only by the wind… and the possibility of an encounter.
These are some of the landscapes we experience during our Puma Tracking Expedition, as we spend long hours in the field searching for one of Patagonia’s most iconic and elusive predators. Between dawn and dusk, patience is rewarded, not only with wildlife moments, but with unforgettable scenery that stays with you long after the trip ends.

Hay lugares donde el paisaje no es solo un fondo, sino parte de la historia.
En el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, cada amanecer y atardecer se siente cinematográfico: picos escarpados encendidos con la primera luz del día, estepas infinitas teñidas de dorado y un silencio interrumpido solo por el viento… y la posibilidad de un encuentro.
Estos son algunos de los paisajes que vivimos durante nuestra Expedición de Rastreo de Pumas, mientras pasamos largas horas en el campo en busca de uno de los depredadores más icónicos y esquivos de la Patagonia. Entre el amanecer y el ocaso, la paciencia se ve recompensada no solo con momentos de vida silvestre, sino también con escenarios inolvidables que permanecen contigo mucho después de que el viaje termina.

On our most recent tour in Northern Colombia, field sessions in La Guajira provided excellent opportunities to observe and photograph striking species such as Vermilion Cardinal, White-whiskered Spinetail, and Russet-throated Puffbird. These arid landscapes consistently offer productive conditions for both birding and photography.

These experiences are part of a carefully designed Northern Colombia itinerary that links three highly contrasting regions: the endemic-rich Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the lowland and foothill forests of Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, and the arid–coastal ecosystems of La Guajira along the Caribbean coast.

By combining these areas, the itinerary maximizes habitat coverage and species turnover, while allowing focused time for regional endemics and key targets, supported by efficient logistics and well-timed field sessions.

Jaguar & Nutria Gigante | Pantanal, Brasil
Fotografiado en Encontro das Águas, uno de los corazones más salvajes del Pantanal. Sony A1ii FE 200-600 mm G OSS

El Jaguar (Panthera onca) es el ícono absoluto del Pantanal y uno de los encuentros más poderosos que se pueden vivir en nuestros viajes. Verlo desplazarse en silencio por las riberas o emerger entre la vegetación densa define por qué esta región es considerada uno de los mejores lugares del mundo para observar a este depredador tope en estado silvestre.

Compartiendo estos mismos ríos, la Nutria Gigante (Pteronura brasiliensis) aporta movimiento, sonido y energía constante: una señal clara de ríos sanos y humedales prósperos. Encontrarse con ambas especies en su entorno natural es una experiencia que se queda contigo para siempre.

Jaguar & Giant Otter | Pantanal, Brazil
Photographed at Encontro das Águas, one of the wild heartbeats of the Pantanal.

The Jaguar (Panthera onca) is the ultimate icon of the Pantanal and one of the most powerful wildlife encounters on our journeys. Watching a jaguar move silently along riverbanks or emerge from dense vegetation defines why this region is considered one of the best places on Earth to observe this apex predator in the wild.

Sharing these same waterways, the Giant Otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) brings constant movement, sound, and energy—an unmistakable sign of healthy rivers and thriving wetlands. Encountering both species in their natural environment is an experience that stays with you forever.

The Andean Bear (Tremarctos ornatus), the only surviving species of short-faced bears, plays a crucial ecological role as an umbrella species in the high Andean ecosystems. Its presence is an indicator of ecosystem health, since it requires extensive, undisturbed habitats to survive.

The páramo, where these bears thrive, is one of the most important hydrological ecosystems in South America. These high-altitude grasslands regulate water cycles, store carbon, and sustain an extraordinary level of endemism. Protecting the Andean Bear therefore ensures the conservation of entire ecological processes that directly benefit human populations, particularly water availability for millions of people.

Ecuador remains one of the few countries where the Andean Bear can still be observed in completely wild conditions. This reality underlines both the urgency and the responsibility of pressing governments and institutions to guarantee long-term, legally binding protection of the páramo and its wildlife in perpetuity.
