We enjoyed all the history of the area whilewe were heading for the estuary.Maria is very knowledgeable and it gave us an insight of Los Cabos habitats and the wildlife. Though we didn’t get to see the target hummingbird we did get to see many other birds along the way. We got a few lifers and enjoyed and sad that was weird about the future of the area. Maria sounds like she is very involved in pursuing the estuary and other areas for the future. If I come back again to Cabo I’m hoping to stay a little longer see more with Maria.

Had a great tour seeing several locations around Cabo and quite a few of the birds we were hoping to see! Loved the commentary and the great birding advice!

Maria Elena was my guide for a half day birding tour in Los Cabos. I arrived on a cruise ship and Maria Elena picked me up promptly at the dock. She drove us to a nearby location where we spent a pleasant morning looking for birds. This was such a nice day, like being out on a relaxing Saturday with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the birds, their natural history, their habitats and more. She gave the history of the area during the drive. I only speak a little Spanish but her English was great, so no issues in communication. I caught several lifers there plus so many more bird species. She brought extra water, we had a restroom stop, and she returned me to the dock on time. What a pleasure to go birding with Maria Elena! Would book with her again for sure.

Maria Elena was a wonderful guide full of interesting information about the geography and history as well as the flora and fauna. She was very helpful it guiding us to where we were able to see the largest variety of bird species taking advantage of her well developed associations with the local ranch owners. We were allowed into areas that the unguided traveler would not have an opportunity to visit. We highly recommend any trip with Maria Elena as your guide.
