Essential for any nature lover. - I like nature and birds and this is the best tour I have ever done, two days from Asunción and spending a night at the Puerto Olivares Station. Not only because of the easy and abundant sighting of birds (there is forest, river, open spaces), but because of the interesting experience, sailing along the Manduvirá River to the Paraguay River, touring the property, etc. Alberto Esquivel is a Pro Guide and very nice, and the people in the room, too. To highlight the comfort of the accommodation and the excellent food of Veronica, both things surprised me. Spectacular, of those who leave a mark, highly recommended.

Full day river trip for birds and wildlife - The trip out on the river could not have been any better. Alberto and the people he works with are absolute professionals. My time spent with them was amazing. The knowledge, time, and care they put into their work will surprise, and please you. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!

A fantastic day trip. Pure nature, a great raft trip and a great barbecue. 10 out of 10! - It was a fantastic day tour and worth every cent! There are things you can't influence, like the weather. We were very lucky in that regard. You can't usually choose your participants. My companion and I were really lucky there too, with a couple from Atlanta. Last but not least, the tour guide: competent, very relaxed, courteous. Arranging a date was easy. I initially wanted to book Friday, but it ended up being Saturday because the first option was already fully booked. Alberto, the tour guide, got in touch immediately. And at least said that he was busy at the moment and would get back to you later. Which is exactly what happened. You drive onto a farm, through about eleven gates that you open and close again. You get pretty close to nature and especially the bird world. There were binoculars for each participant and lots of opportunities for photos and videos. An incredible number of different birds. Including parrots, storks, vultures, ibises, owls and also toucans. OK, we didn't see any monkeys. I still give it 10 out of 10 points. I can also speak for my companion, who was born and raised in Paraguay and is, among other things, an artist and writer. She called Paraguay a "brittle beauty". On the trip I was able to experience the beauty above all. A highlight: the trip on the raft: simply amazing! And a barbecue too. If you don't like meat: there are alternatives. There are days that stay in your memory and this trip is definitely one of them, for all of us who took part. A positive memory. Definitely more of it on our next visit to Paraguay! Thank you Alberto!
