"Except for those times I was guiding tours, I’ve spent my entire professional career photographing by myself. However, the logistics of travelling through the Colombian Andes posed immense challenges, as the best photographic locations are very remote and extremely difficult to find. Luckily, a friend gave me information about David Casas from Retorno Photo Tours. What a pleasure to work with another human being whose sole interest is to get wonderful images. The custom tour he created was spectacular and focused on Colombia's emblematic birds. Along with his incredible knowledge of the species and where to find them, the joint venture was a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommendable to any serious photographer who is searching for an expert and a very accommodating guide."
