This private birding program is offered for a maximum of 4 people.  Since
we live in Puerto Rico, we stop for birds in areas less visited by birding
groups with non-resident leaders.  We know where to find our endemics.  
Our Guides know the sites, and how to identify the birds by hearing them.

For our Endemic Bird Trail we use a comfortable 2008 4x4 Honda Pilot.  
This birding program will be lead by AdvenTours´ owner, Hilda Morales,
who is a local  Certified Interpretive Guide and Certified Driver Guide.
"As the path of the birds in the air or of fishes in the water is invisible, even so is the path of the possessors of wisdom."
Celebrating 18 years of sharing our
Natural Heritage!
Join me in this unique experience through
different birding sites in Puerto Rico,
including several BirdLife IBA´s.  We will
focus this birding program on endemic
species and sub-species.  On extended
programs, we also look for Caribbean
specialties.

This fun, fast-paced, yet easy exploration of Puerto Rico’s prime birding locations will
target the nation's endemics and specialties. We'll seek 17 endemics in 5 days of
birding plus a whole list of Caribbean specialties!
Some of these specialties are being considered as possible future endemic species
according to some researchers. Many of the species we will seek are threatened or
endangered... and in the case of the Puerto Rican Parrot, there are very few left.
