The Andean Birder is more than a birdwatching tours company, is a history of how local people can find a life opportunity in a passion.
We are a group of birders who emerged from local and community processes on environmental education, research, birding promoting, community tourism and nature conservation.
Our main conviction is:
Tourism must contribute to the development of local communities and therefore to protection of biodiversity.
We design flexible and customizable birding and nature trips for every type of nature enthusiast. We are convinced that high-quality tours can be possible at an affordable cost. Over 8 years we’ve guided and organized tours. As professional guides, we know every aspect that makes a trip, a successful experience.
Our trips are designed taking into account multiple aspects such as the driving times (less drive = more fun), target species, season weather, and other special needs specified by our clients.
Our trips are designed to maximize the quality of the experience, with fair prices for both the client and those who provide their services at the destinations.
We are birders and nature enthusiasts, for years we’ve traveled and experienced the role of both, the tourist and the guide, so we know what are the main aspects to optimize for a better experience. We are locals as well, so we have the knowledge of the best places and we keep strong relations with local communities and service providers.
Johnnier is the main tour leader and manager of The Andean Birder. He is in charge of the trip’s design and the main operational processes of the company.
