Here at Itarinatura we consider our trips as a comprehensive interpretation ofthe environment, because we understand that the environment must be treated asa whole, and that any of the subjects addressed (ornithology, mammals,entomology, etc. ..) are interconnected with others such as geography, flora,climate, geology, among others. So in all our trips we provide information aboutall those issues, provided the customer has an interest in doing it that way.

By default, all trails are offered with birdguide. We are ready to provide service forthe initiated, as well as for the expertsalike.In all cases we loan binoculars, andsometimes we carry telescopes.
