WILDLIFE AND BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
On our Photo Tours, our goal is to provide you with the best opportunities to capture stunning images of some of South America’s most emblematic species. With the guidance of our experienced and specialized guides, you’ll explore top wildlife destinations and spend as much time as needed to get the perfect shot of your target species. From the cloud forests and páramos of Ecuador to the wetlands of Brazil’s Pantanal and the windswept landscapes of Patagonia, each destination offers its own unique photographic treasures.
Our tours include visits to exceptional lodges and reserves, carefully selected for their outstanding infrastructure that enhances every aspect of the photography experience. Hummingbird and fruit feeders attract a dazzling array of species such as tanagers, toucans, and barbets. Well-designed hides offer intimate views of elusive birds like the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock, while light traps draw in moths overnight, creating a natural buffet that brings in a flurry of insectivorous birds at first light.
