Guy Cox – great birding guide in the Iguazu region!
“Guy led and guided my wife and I around the Misiones region south and east of Iguazu for 3 days late in the summer of 2018-19. The program was customised to our particular interest in photographing the feathered friends. His sharp eye and in-depth knowledge of local birdlife we came almost to take for granted as he served up round after round of additional species in subtly different environments. For us the bonus was the continual learning through our easy conversation, about natural history more generally in the region, political and environmental history; the lives and activities of local people. It’s clear he lives in and loves this central part of the continent (extending into surrounding countries). It felt more like spending time in this unfamiliar region with an expert friend than commissioning (at very reasonable price) a commercial guide.”

“Guy sure has an incredible ear. As we 
walk slowly through the forest, he points out every sound…”
Noah and I spent four days in January 2015 together in northern Misiones. Noah saw his 500th bird with me at San Sebastian de la Selva on 22 Jan.
“THANK YOU so much for such a wonderful few days in Misiones – I will never forget it! We did extremely well with the birds which was a big bonus for my year, and it was great to meet you. Hope we cross paths again one of these days!”
Good birding – Noah
“Traveling with Guy is extremely interesting. Superb bird guide, historian, local knowledge. Well organized.”
Toucan Birding Guides – Guy Cox
“We booked Guy Cox for several days, where we focused on birding in Misiones Province, Argentina. Guy was very engaging, knows all the local bird songs/calls, and was able to locate all the endemic and rare birds of the area. He also was aware of group limitations, age range of travelers, and tolerated our wacky sense of humor.
“Additionally, we traveled with Guy Cox for several weeks in Bolivia in late 2013, where he arranged lodging and transportation, along with his excellent bird guiding service. Ecotourism infrastructure is much more limited in Bolivia, compared to other Central and South American countries, but he found safe lodging and dining options for this trip.”
We plan to have him guide another trip for us, and recommend him for all levels of birders.
