Me, Ben! I lead the Cloud Forest Birding tours in San Cristobal de Las Casas and across Chiapas, where I connect travelers like you with the aesthetic beauty and stunning wildlife of the Chiapas forests.

Birding is a meditative and peaceful practice that brings complete immersion in nature. Whether with first-time birders or world-traveled twitchers, my passion is sharing that feeling of immersion with others.

And what better place to do this than Chiapas, Mexico? With rare endemic and threatened species like the Pink-headed Warbler, Garnet-throated Hummingbird, and Resplendent Quetzal, sharing the natural beauty of Chiapas, Mexico, in comfort and safety is a genuine privilege.

I had the chance to go birding with Ben; his expertise and enthusiasm were superb. Spending just a few hours with him left me with a greater appreciation for the biodiversity of southern Mexico and flavored my entire trip to Mexico. Highly recommended!
