Ascanio Birding Tours

Welcome to Ascanio Birding Tours!

The leading birdwatching company  for Venezuela, Suriname and Guyana.

We have  been operating and leading birding tours in Venezuela, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and Guyana since 1986. We arrange tailored birding trips to Rancho Grande, the plains (Llanos), the Andes, the mountains of Paria, Lake Maracaibo basin, Perija mountains, Brownsberg reserve, Iwokrama, the Orinoco Delta and one of the premier endemic bird areas of the continent: the tepuis. We are the experts in Sierra de Lema, Roraima, Gran Sabana, Auyan tepui and many other of these incredible table top mountains. Over two decades we have found  locations to look for the Roraiman Nightjar (our first record is back to  1984!), Orinoco Softtail (rediscovered in our expedition in 2006), Scallop-breasted Antpitta, Recurve-billed Bushbird, Tepui Wren, Gray-headed Warbler, Great Antpitta, River Island Spinetail (recently described) and 4 yet to-be-described species (A flycatcher, a tapaculo, a wag-tail tyrant and a softtail). Our commitment with research and bird conservation has allowed us to finance projects with many Venezuelan NGOs, including the Venezuelan Audubon, Aves de Venezuela and the Phelps Ornithological Museum.
