What others are saying about Merlin Birding

The Veracruz trip has it all: enthusiastic and knowledgeable leaders, great variety of ecosystems explored, spectacular diversity of birdlife, and unique cultural excursions. Kashmir, our primary local guide, was extraordinary. Mexico was a new country for me and I felt safe and relaxed with him. And I would go anywhere with Steve Hoffman; I love his enthusiasm, knowledge and excitement for a place and the people he loves. I felt he was sharing his Mexican family with us—a real privilege. This is a trip to be enjoyed more than once!
