“A Magic Birding Trip”
The lodges and surrounding gardens/grounds are immaculately maintained and set in the most beautiful scenic surrounds. The staff are extremely friendly and it feels like they can't do enough for you. The food was absolutely delicious authentic Ecuadorian food and there was so much of it!  The birdlife is staggering.

An array of hummingbirds buzz around your breakfast table or bedroom window dashing from flower/feeder to flower/feeder. We saw emerald toucanettes, toucans, cock of the rock, quetzals, all sorts of tanangers...the list is endless! It seemed every which way we turned another brightly coloured bird was there to amaze us.  

Our guides were wonderful, spotting birds we never would of seen or found by ourselves. They were so enthusiastic and passionate and had excellent English speaking skills.

“great birding”
We stayed at all three properties. These two biologists had the birding adventure of a lifetime. Hundreds and hundreds of life birds. Incredible attention to detail. Worry free non-stop birding to die for! You need 3 nights at each property. We didn't allow enough time to see everything. Study their website closely, as it's a trip of a lifetime. Food is over the top, and guided trips are a hoot!

This was our second trip on The Magic Birding Circuit Tour. It’s all inclusive, food, lodging, transport and guides.The eco-lodges are in pristine areas, comfortable and very clean.The food is prepared fresh and is excellent. Our guide, Dr. Jorge Cruz excels at finding the birds, knows their songs and can focus the scope at lightning speed and your chance of seeing the bird is very good.

At San Jorge/Tandayapa Lodge we saw 40 species of Hummingbirds, Tanagers, Toucanet and the Golden Quetzal and all this before breakfast. In Milpe, the group saw a Banded Ground Cuckoo, a very rare find. We then relaxed a few days and then we were off for the altitude birding. Yanacocha gave us Hummingbirds, Antisana and the Pappalacta Pass gave us 9 Andean Condors and at San Jorge/Cosanga, where there are plans for a new Lodge, The Cock of the Rock flew by us. We totaled 350 species in the 2 weeks.

We truly enjoyed our entire visit to San Jorge. Each of the three San Jorge lodges we visited, Quito, Tandayapa , Milpe were uniquely different, but all quite comfortable.
The staff and service were exceptional and made us feel more like we were visiting with friends.

The birding tours with Jorge, the owner, more than met any expectations I had before coming . To have the benefit of his expertise for us the two of us was a real treat, not to mention the 288 species he helped us to see in 3 days and a half.

Food is absolutely exceptional, quiet comfortable and enjoyable lodging. I was quite impressed with the care and attention to details paid to ensuring that we had a wonderful visit.
