PHOTOGRAPHY

BIRD OUTING VS BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY: regular birding
trips are not bird photography trips. Birders use their
binocular to find birds, not a camera. Many birders
don´t like to be mixed with bird photographers.

It is understood that when the main purpose of your
trip is to take pictures of the birds, the trip is
considered a private bird photography trip. Bird
photography trips are birding trips that are offered as
a customized alternative and on a private basis. If you
book a regular trip instead of a bird photography trip,
we will make the necessary changes in your reservation
and charge your credit card for the difference in price
as for this type of activity we take other routes.

If you are looking for a bird photography trip, please
use the BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY option.

When requesting a quote, please let us know the
equipment that you will bring: binoculars, camera,
tripod, etc.
