Guy led and guided my wife and I around the Misiones region south and east of Iguazu for 3 days late in the summer of 2018-19. The program was customised to our particular interest in photographing the feathered friends. His sharp eye and in-depth knowledge of local birdlife we came almost to take for granted as he served up round after round of additional species in subtly different environments. For us the bonus was the continual learning through our easy conversation, about natural history more generally in the region, political and environmental history; the lives and activities of local people. It’s clear he lives in and loves this central part of the continent (extending into surrounding countries). It felt more like spending time in this unfamiliar region with an expert friend than commissioning (at very reasonable price) a commercial guide.
Thanks very much, Trevor and Carol, it was a pleasure meeting and guiding such friendly and knowledgeable people!
Guy had booked everything, rooms, car, etc. We just showed up at the airport. (With only 5 days, we couldn't waste time making decisions.)
If you think you're a good birder who doesn't need a guide, think again. I saw 132 birds with Guy (heard another 30), and probably would have seen about 5-10 on my own! He knows plenty of other stuff, too, flower & butterfly & tree names, etc.
I am definitely thinking of going on another of his trips ASAP.
Guy guided me and my two daughters aged 19 and 21 around Iguazu and to Surucua Lodge. Not frantic birding, but we saw lots anyway, and the whole trip did not have a hitch. Very pleasant company and very knowledgeable.
Highly recommended.
Guy Cox is an excellent professional and bird guide. Organize your stay and tour through different Parks and wildlife reserves. 100% recommendable
We spent three excellent days birding with Guy Cox in San Sebastian de la Selva. He is a true expert. With over twenty years of bird guiding and avian research in this part of of South America, this expat Brit has the birding skills, local knowledge and leadership qualities to satisfy birders of every level of interest. And he is very pleasant company.
