Vinicio Pérez, the owner of the Birdwatcher's House and restaurant, is also a seasoned English speaking tour guide in Mindo and all Ecuador. He was born in the Mindo region and knows the area like the back of his hand. 
We are pleased to offer photography tours to amateur and professional nature photographers. Vinicio Pérez, whose stunning images grace this website, will lead you to the right place at the right time to capture some of the spectacular birds and other creatures of Ecuador. Please contact us to arrange a custom tour.
As birdwatchers know, tropical forests can be difficult places to spot birds. The same holds true for photography. Low light levels, exuberant foliage, and changeable weather contribute to the challenge of tropical forest photography. However, as Vinicio's photographs attest, it is possible to achieve great images with patience and practice. Join us for the chance to see and capture the richness of Ecuador.
Suggested equipment: 1 or 2 camera bodies, a selection of lenses that might include macro, wide angle, and medium to long telephoto lenses, plenty of digital storage cards, a laptop computer and portable hard drive, sturdy tripod, and flash unit (note that some locations prohibit the use of flash). It's best to expect some rain, fog, or high humidity, depending upon our destinations.
