I have hired several bird guides in various tropical destinations, and Gabriel Lugo is the best one I've met to date. I'd give him particularly high marks in his birding skills. He is very talented at finding birds and at helping his clients to see them well. He was clearly interested in providing the best possible experience for us. He... More

My wife and I are birders who have traveled around to various locations (Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, etc.) for birding experiences. Whenever we travel outside the USA we use local bird guides who know the best spots to bird, know where to find the endemics for that area and can help identify any of the birds we see. Gabriel Lugo... More

This was our first birding trip to Puerto Rico. My wife and I hired Gabriel Lugo for two days to introduce us to the birds of the southwestern corner of the island and we had a very productive outing. Gabriel was very professional and we birded at a very comfortable pace finding/photographing all the endemics found in that section of... More

I spent a long weekend with Gabriel Lugo for some target bird species that I had missed when birding in Puerto RIco on my own several years ago. Gabriel arranged transportation and two nights accommodation, and was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and cordial. We visited about six birding locations and easily found my target birds over a three day period, although... More

In just four days with Gabriel Lugo we saw all but just a couple of endemics and Caribbean specialities. We had a great time, the tour was perfectly organized, and Gabriel shows his experience and knowledge in his ability to find the difficult birds with relative ease. Thanks for a superb experience.

Gabriel knows exactly where to go and how to get there to find our target birds. I got 30 lifers in 3 1/2 days and my fiancé (who has over 2,500 on his world list) had 25 life birds. He is very knowlegeble of all the Puerto Rico birds, endemic and exotic. The places he chose for us to stay... More

My fiancee and I hired Gabriel for 4 days (3 nights) and we actually saw 16 of the 17 endemics (all but the PR Parrot, which we heard), plus several endemic subspecies, plus most of our other target birds (eastern Caribbean specialties). I've birded Hispaniola and Jamaica before, and I still got 25 life birds. He will custom design and... More

Gabriel Lugo provides bird guiding tours in Puerto Rico. We birded the San Juan city parks and saw a number of endemics. Would recommend this guide.

We spent 2 1/2 days with Gabriel Lugo, a wonderful and effiicient bird guide. Of the 17 endemic bird species in Puerto Rico, he saw to it that we had good sightings of 14. His knowledge of the terrain and of the birds is exceptionally good, and he was a patient and very good-natured guide. If we have an opportunity... More
