My fourth trip to Ecuador with Tropical Birding was going fabulously! Guide José was finding birds that I had missed on my prior visit to the eastern Andes and even coaxing most of the ‘difficult’ birds into view. José was cheerful and energetic regardless the long trails, rain and mud that you encounter when searching for special birds.But. News of Corvid-19 loomed ominously. What happened next proves the value of traveling with a company with capable and devoted office support with extensive connections throughout the region, as well as exceptional guides. First, Tropical personnel arranged an alternative lodge because national parks were closing. One day later Guide José and Office Staff worked very late on a Saturday night to arrange travel back to the US, starting with scheduling a 3-hour boat trip to the nearest airport city, when news indicated that borders and airports were closing in 24 hours.I already have another trip scheduled with Tropical and I will certainly plan more. At times like those – emergencies or any event that might impact the usual smooth operation and great bird-watching that I’ve experienced on prior trips - the value of a trip with Tropical is priceless!
