PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

The goal of a Photography tour is to get great photos of certain species. Sometimes a lot of time is spent trying to get a great shot of a single species, and quite a bit of time will be devoted to feeders and multi-flash hummingbird photography. The size of the trip list is not a priority. 

Ecuador is famed for its extraordinary diversity. With a superb selection of lodges and reserves, many of them with excellent feeders, it is one of the premier bird photography destinations in South America. The jewels of the Andes, the hummingbirds, will feature heavily; fantastic feeder set-ups allow excellent photographic opportunities of these “winged gems”. While hummingbirds are undoubtedly a front and center feature of this tour, they will also be accompanied by other colorful tropical birds, including an assortment of tanagers, toucans, trogons, woodpeckers, and even the incredible, vivid scarlet Andean Cock-of-the-rock. An optional extension to Sani Lodge or Napo Wildlife Center in the Amazon is also available.
