Thank you so mucho for arranging for me to meet your niece and her bus partner to see the beautiful gardens of Antigua before we began our birding adventure. Your country is so beautiful! I wish I had two more weeks to get to see it all, especially Tikal. Thank you so much for arranging to bring us here to showcase all the special birds of guatemala. I can’t wait until I can come back again :) Read more
