Dear Ecotours Travellers & Friends,
We have just finished a few Winter tours in Hungary with photographing Wallcreeper, Alpine Accentor, Ural Owl, Woodpeckers and more, while in Yucatan we look for endemics and photographing Caribbean Flamingos. We still have a few months when we can escape Winter at sunny Latin American or African destinations, but soon the busy Spring season will start again in the Old Continent. We have some tempting new tours and also some special last minute offers.
For a LIST OF TOURS with suggested dates & prices please click here. We also created a TOUR SELECTOR where you can filter all the tours based on destination or focus of the tour or month.
If you would like to Read More about the various tours we have done please visit our NEW Trip Report pages on our website. We tend to do more tours than trip reports, but work hard to catch up with the paperwork as well, so please check our website and Facebook pages regularly. J
