Testimonials
Words from Clients
“I spent a morning birding with Luis around Merida, in late June of 2019, and had a great time! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He asked in advance what my target birds were, and carefully planned an itinerary to optimize our time. He was very friendly, easy to spend time with, and his English was excellent. We got great looks at target species, and Luis provided eBird checklists afterwards. He was also happy to answer follow-up questions during subsequent days, while I was still in the area and doing a bit of birding on my own. Highly recommended!”
“We toured many times with Luis (Yucatán Birding Tours) this past Spring. It’s wonderful to bird with him. We saw soooo many species with Luis as our guide. If we wanted to see a particular species, he recommended a location and we saw that bird!! He has abundant experience and knowledge about birds, not only in Yucatán, but not those in a much wider range. Luis speaks excellent English, for those needing that. Go with Luis, you won’t be disappointed!”
“I met Luis Trinchan while birding this spring (2019). We birded together quite a few times after our initial meeting and he was always able to show me birds I was interested in and introduce me to new species. He would also confirm (or correct) my bird IDs. He is a walking encyclopedia of bird knowledge from habitat, to migratory and breeding behaviors, to knowing the best sites to see many of the birds Yucatan has to offer. His English is good (better than my Spanish I think) and he's genuinely interested in sharing what he knows and his appreciation for birds in particular and the environment in general.”
“Earlier this month I visited Merida and got in touch with Luis Trinchan whom I had met previously in Belize. I arranged with him to do birding with my goal being the American Flamingo.
I wasn’t disappointed! I got to to see so much more. Luis is a patient guide, is fluent in English and know his birds. He picked me up in his car at 6am both days. I highly recommend him and hope to visit Merida again very soon to see the Sheartail.”
