Photography Expeditions · Amazing Photography Opportunities
Your Americas. Your birds. Your journey.
Explore one country, or combine two or three countries in one carefully planned, consecutive birding and photography expedition. Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil: choose your destinations, and let us bring the journey together.
If the Americas may be a once-in-a-lifetime visit, make room for more of what brought you here. Especially for travelers arriving from Asia or other distant regions, combining countries makes every long-haul journey more rewarding.
Share your wish list. We carefully plan destinations, seasons and time in the field to maximize opportunities for your priority species and make the most of every country you visit.
The number of days is tailored to your availability, budget and photographic goals, with a thoughtful balance of productive birding, travel and rest.
Create a private expedition for your own group, or join one of our mixed groups of fellow birders and photographers, subject to compatible dates and availability.
Flights that fit the expedition
We arrange required domestic flights and international flights between your selected countries. Coordinated schedules and sensible connection times help reduce wasted travel time and avoid mismatched individual bookings.
Professional leadership throughout
Your group is accompanied by our professional trip leader throughout the itinerary, in every country visited. Enjoy personal attention and experienced coordination from one destination to the next.
Your personalized proposal will specify flight costs and inclusions. Bird sightings depend on natural conditions.
