PERU :: GUYANA :: TRINIDAD & TOBAGO :: ANTARCTICA :: ABA Endorsed Tours in Veracruz, Mexico
After years of talking about it, we are finally planning it -- a trip to the amazing wilderness of the Antarctic Peninsula!

Our Peru trip currently has only six spaces available! Visit the beautiful Manu Reserve in the southern Amazon Basin as well as the high Andes, culminating in the magical ruins of Machu Picchu... a true marvel of human construction.

Guyana (a new birding frontier) and Trinidad & Tobago trips will run back to back to offer birders and photographers a fantastic opportunity!

The ABA (American Birding Association) has endorsed Wildside to lead their Pre- and Post-Conference short tours in Veracruz Mexico this October in conjunction with the annual River of Raptors spectacle.

The Puerto Rican Screech Owl is one of 17 endemic species we seek on our Puerto Rico tours. Small and not always vocal, it can be difficult to find!

Located 1000 miles southeast of Miami, Puerto Rico is rich in history as well as nature. Approximately three times the size of Rhode Island, it is known for spectacular beaches, great snorkeling and wonderful people. It is also home to 17 endemic species of birds, many West Indies specialties and the most amazing bioluminescent bay in the world!


We still have space on our 2009 tours!

Mexico Monarch Migration Spectacle!

Imagine hundreds of millions of butterflies literally dripping from the trees! That is what it is like every winter, high in the mountains of Mexico. Monarch Butterflies make this trek of thousands of miles every fall, finding their way to a small region west of Mexico City. Here they overwinter, reproduce and eventually return to northern climates to lay their eggs. The sights and the sounds are not to be missed!

Join our Monarch Majesty Tour, one of our "Quick trips" ~ February 14 - 20, 2010



Birding with Binns ~ Adrian’s ID Tip:
Before visiting a new destination, spend as much time as you can looking through that country's field guide. Become familiar with the region's families and common species. Take time to learn what species to expect in certain habitats. This will help to separate similar looking birds, as well making it less overwhelming and far more enjoyable when you step into the field.
