During our photo tours, our goal is to offer meaningful, high-quality opportunities to photograph some of South America’s most iconic and fascinating wildlife. Rather than simply “taking the shot,” we encourage a deeper connection with each subject — observing natural behavior, understanding the light, and refining your skills to make each image more intentional and rewarding.

We dedicate the time needed with each target species to allow for thoughtful compositions and truly unique moments in the field. Our approach prioritizes natural light and authentic encounters, helping photographers of all levels develop techniques they can apply well beyond the tour.

South America is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, and we are proud to operate tours in Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and both Argentine and Chilean Patagonia. These countries not only offer extraordinary bird and wildlife diversity, but also world-class reserves and comfortable lodges that support ethical and responsible photography.

In South America, many locations feature well-maintained feeders, observation platforms, and thoughtfully designed blinds that allow for extended sessions in ideal conditions. The dazzling hummingbirds of the Tropical Andes remain a highlight — not only for their vibrant beauty and diversity, but also for the challenge and satisfaction of capturing them in natural light.

Beyond hummingbirds, our tours also focus on a wide range of spectacular tropical birds, including Tanagers, Euphonias, Barbets, Toucans, Trogons, Quetzals, and the charismatic Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. We also seek out rare and range-restricted species like the Long-wattled Umbrellabird and many other regional specialties.

For those who share a passion for both birding and photography, we offer a variety of multi-day tours across the continent — each one crafted to deliver exceptional photographic opportunities, a strong sense of place, and lasting memories.
