Marcos was born in the lively city of Buenos Aires, but his heart has always been drawn to the enchanting province of Misiones. Since childhood, he eagerly visited his family there during summer vacations. At the age of 10, he first glimpsed the Iguazu Falls from San Martin Island. Captivated by the panoramic view, he knew that it held a special place in his heart from that moment on. Upon turning 20, Marcos moved to the capital of Misiones to study tourism, where he discovered a deep passion for birds.
This passion led him to specialize in birdwatching, attending events such as the Bird Fair in England to enhance his knowledge. After passing challenging tests, he obtained his license to lead birdwatching tours in Iguazu National Park, allowing him to guide groups before the park officially opens. Today, Marcos is a dedicated local guide in Iguazu, continually learning and exploring the park daily. He enjoys sharing his experiences and knowledge with every visitor he guides.
Marcos invites you on an immersive journey into the jungle, where you can discover the rich avian biodiversity of this vibrant ecosystem. With his expertise and enthusiasm, Marcos will help you appreciate the astonishing variety of bird species that call this area home.

South America is the continent of birds, with approximately 2,645 resident species. If we also consider visiting species, this total surpasses 2,920 (Meyer de Schauensee 1970), a number unmatched in any other region of the planet, representing just under a third of all living birds globally. The total number of bird species worldwide is estimated at 9,021 (Bock et al., 1980). [The total number of species worldwide and in South America today reaches 9,700 and 3,200 respectively (Sibley & Monroe 1990).]
