Alejandro was wonderful! He spent time educating us on the birds as well as the culture and history of Jardin. Would definitely recommend this tour and Alejandro!
Dear Christie Thank you for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that Alejandro made the tour so wonderful by connecting the birdwatching with the rich culture and history of Jardín—it’s a blend we’re very proud to offer. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It was a pleasure having you with us. We hope to welcome you back for more exploration in the future. Warm regards, The Kamarija Team
Thank you, guys, for this amazing experience! It was my first time birdwatching, and you provided me with everything I needed to enjoy it with my family. You are professional and passionate, and you genuinely care about your tours and the people who join them. I highly recommend it!
Thank you for your kind review and for choosing Kamarija for your first birdwatching experience. We are honored to have shared that moment with you and your family. We are glad to hear that you felt well-supported and enjoyed the passion we put into our tours. It was a pleasure guiding you. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries in the future. Warm regards, The Kamarija Team
This tour with Alejandro was an excellent experience. We spent about 2 hours surrounded by a very active group of about 15 male Andean cock-of-the-rock and had time and opportunity to see many other fabulous birds. We wish we had allowed more time in Jardin to also enjoy Karameja’s coffee experience. Alejandro is a great ambassador for his town and region - with a wealth of knowledge and experience which he communicates very well. Thoroughly recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Peter. It was a real pleasure meeting you and sharing this experience with you both—thank you for being part of our Kamarija Family. We’re delighted to hear that your birding tour with Alejandro was so rewarding, especially with such an active group of cock-of-the-rock and other fabulous species. It means a lot to us that you highlighted Alejandro’s knowledge and his role as an ambassador for Jardín. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We’d love to welcome you back to experience our coffee tour whenever your travels bring you back to the region. Warm regards, The Kamarija Team
More than just a tourist company, Kamarija are the best extraordinary hosts. He transformed an already special gift into an indelible memory of connection with nature and human warmth. If you are looking for an authentic experience, with a family friendly and full of human details, do not hesitate. This experience was the best birthday present I could receive, and largely thanks to them. Thank you, Bibi and Alejo, for your incredible energy and professionalism! I'll be right back.
Estimado Julian Gracias por compartir un recuerdo tan personal. Nos conmueve profundamente saber que esta experiencia, especialmente como regalo de cumpleaños, se haya convertido en un momento tan significativo para ti. Que destaqués la calidez humana y el trato familiar es el mayor cumplido que podríamos recibir.

Kamarija is the recommended company in Jardin, after contacting other companies they gave me the peace of mind to look for the birds I wanted to see the most, Bibi and Alejo are the best guides who really listen and adapt the adventure to your interests. This was not a generic outing; it was a carefully planned itinerary for two dream sightings. Their ability to locate such different species in the same day demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the territory. Highly recommended for birdwatchers looking for a tailored and high level experience. An absolutely spectacular day.
Estimada Gloria Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con tanto detalle.

Tu recomendación para los birdwatchers que buscan un servicio a medida significa mucho. Fue un placer guiarte en esta búsqueda especial y esperamos poder diseñar otra aventura a tu medida en el futuro. Un saludo, El equipo de Kamarija
We hired the private sighting with Kamarija looking for a quality experience and we got it more than. Everything from coordination to the exact time of the sighting was impeccable. Kamarija is an exceptional company: it knows where, when and how to position itself to enjoy the red ballet of rock cocks without interfering in its habitat. His explanation was fascinating and his respect for nature, admirable. A completely worthwhile investment. For lovers of nature and photography, it is the ideal way to experience this encounter. Kamarija operates with professionalism and warmth that make a difference. Fully recommended.

Comentarios como el tuyo validan nuestro compromiso con crear encuentros únicos y responsables con la naturaleza. Será un placer recibirte nuevamente para otro espectáculo de la naturaleza. Saludos, El equipo de Kamarija
This experience exceeded all expectations. The private sighting of the rock cocks with Kamarija was absolutely amazing. His knowledge and passion made a difference: he took us to the perfect place to see the vibrant deployment of the males. His professionalism and personalized treatment made the outing something special. Highly recommended. If you want to live this magical moment in the most authentic way and with the best guide, this is the option. Kamarija is a guarantee of an unforgettable experience!

Kamarija transforms a simple birdwatching outing into a life and nature lesson. We highly value the personalized treatment and human warmth you gave us.

It was a very nice experience. We could see the rock rooster with his partner.And we also saw the yellow-eared parrot...
Estimado Andres Muchas gracias por tu reseña. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la experiencia y que tuviste la fortuna de avistar tanto al Gallito de Roca con su pareja como al Loro Orejiamarillo en un solo dia, fue un dia espectacular avistando aves en Alta Montaña y luego regresar a Jardín a avistar el Gallito de Roca. Que dos especies tan especiales aparezcan en un mismo día hace el recorrido aún más memorable. Te esperamos siempre para seguir explorando los tesoros naturales de Jardín. Saludos, El equipo de Kamarija
In a unique, pleasant place. It only feels like living nature and the experience of bird watching is something I carry forever in my memory and my heart
Gracias por compartir esa reflexión tan personal. Nos conmueve saber que la experiencia en ese lugar único no solo fue un avistamiento, sino un momento que quedará guardado en tu memoria. Que hayas sentido esa conexión pura con la naturaleza es, para nosotros, la mayor recompensa. Te deseamos muchos más encuentros con la vida silvestre. El equipo de Kamarija
