To optimize the photo opportunities, we will split the group in two to offer better photo opportunities for everyone.

In the morning part of the group will remain at the lodge shooting for medium and large species of birds. Mid-morning dedicated to the King Vulture hide, and the other half will visit a private garden for a variety of colorful small and medium size birds.

In the afternoon we switch the group’s location to provide equal opportunities for everyone since there is constant birding activity all day at both shooting sites.

By night, half of the group will photograph bats in flight using multi-flash setups.

Today the group will split in two again.
