Our birding tours in the Puerto López area offer you the opportunity to observe hundreds of different bird species. There are more than 300 different species locally registered in eBird alone. Many of these birds are endemic while others are migratory. The chart below provides information on different bird species that you can expect to see on our tours and at what time of year they are active. If there are specific birds that you’d like to add to your list of observed species, contact us and we’ll give you the best advice possible on where and when those birds can be encountered. We have also been birding in other parts of Ecuador: for example Mindo, Galapagos, Vallé Intag, Amazonia and the far south of Ecuador.

We recommend that you review eBird or Merlin for more information about the species that can be seen in this area.
