**I don't just guide people to see birds... I help save them.** 🐦💚

I'm **Julio Ayala**, a professional birding and butterfly guide in Ecuador.

Every year, many birds collide with the large glass windows of ecolodges because they cannot distinguish the reflection of the surrounding forest. When that happens, my job goes beyond guiding tours. I do everything I can to rescue injured birds, provide immediate care, and release them back into the wild once they have recovered.

Every bird that flies again is a small victory for conservation.

Being a guide is not only about finding wildlife—it's about protecting it.

**Join me in discovering Ecuador's extraordinary birds and butterflies with a guide who is deeply committed to conservation.**
