Great day with Rodolfo - I had an excellent day birding at Cerro Verde and Joya de Ceren. Rodolfo is very knowledgeable about birds as well as local culture and history, and is a very patient teacher. He went out of his way to make my day enjoyable, and I had a great time. Highly recommend!

Lifetime bird watching - I have wanted to go bird watching in Central America for a while, but for safety reasons I kept delaying it. I read a lot of articles about how safe El Salvador is. I had some doubts, but I decided to research bird watching opportunities and city tours. That's when I found and contacted Rodolfo Walsh; I am so glad I did! I spent four days bird watching and traveling around El Salvador. The country is spectacular, the birds were stunning, and the El Salvadorian food was delicious. Rodolfo Walsh is extremely knowledgeable with the birds and the city; he is always on time and has one of the best personalities and attitudes. I highly recommend Rodolfo Walsh and a trip to El Salvador. Nothing can go wrong with this combination.

Amazing El Salvador Experience - I had an incredible time in El Salvador, and Rodolfo really went beyond expectations with his bird tour - not only did we encounter many incredible birds - including the elegant trogon, various endemic hummingbirds, the sound of the laughing falcon and two types of motmot, but were able to explore the country of El Salvador while doing so, with spectacular volcanoes, friendly people, and incredible food. Would highly recommend.

Lovely San Salvador birding experience - Rodolfo was an amazing guide and shared with me the diversity of birds found in wonderful El Salvador. Every day we went to a different environment and saw so many species, including endemic birds. He also knows all the great places to have local food and was a great source of information. My trips were tailored to my wishes and they exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him so don't hesitate. Cathy B

Birding at Cerro Verde - Rodolfo really offers a special day out. He’s steeped in birding knowledge and enthuses over the topic. A single tree becomes a magical place as Rodolfo patiently reveals its visitors. Beyond birding, Rodolfo is a font of fascinating information about the country and setting in which he guides. A genuinely relaxing, enjoyable and informative day out with a caring, considerate, engaging guide.

Great birding and photographic opportunities - Rodolfo is an excellent bird guide, and tailored the tour to photography more than just bird watching, as I had wanted. Over two days we visited Cerro Verde and El Espino, and we saw a great variety of birds. He was very flexible and adaptable as well, adding on some unrelated sites that I had wanted to see. In addition to being very knowledgeable about birds and the region, he was also very personable and we had great conversations about many things. I look forward to returning! Thank you!

Best birdwatching ever! - I had a wonderful time on the birdwatching tour! Rodolfo was veryfriendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, making the experience both educational and fun. The scenery and the views of San salvador and the volcanoes were beautiful. We spotted a variety of birds. I appreciated the relaxed pace, which allowed us to fully enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. Even as a beginner, I felt welcomed and learned so much about bird behavior and habitats. It was a peaceful escape into nature, perfect for reconnecting with the outdoors. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and calming adventure!
