His unique childhood created the very special relationship that he has with the world of nature, especially birds. He can identify hundreds of songs and calls of Panama birds, as well as identify them quickly by sight. His native language is Spanish, and he also speaks English. From 2011 to 2016, he supervised the construction of Canopy Camp in Darién.

Ismael Quiroz is the son of Nando, and he has become an excellent birding guide, following in his father's footsteps. Check out his Reviews. Ismael was born in David, Chiriquí, and grew up among the mountain birds of Cerro Azul.  At the age of 14, he moved with his family to Metetí, in the Darién province of Panama.  He has been birding with his father since 2016. Ismael is a total pro at taking photos and videos through the scope using your cell phone and you will be amazed at the top-notch bird photos you will be able to take home.  Check out Ismael's photos and videos here:  Ismael Photography (opens a new window)
