WHO WE ARE

Luis, a distinguished professor of microbiology at the University of Texas within the Department of Biology, finds pleasure in both wildlife photography and exploring scientific topics spanning from microbes to higher organisms. Cristina, his esteemed wife, excels as an artist and a proficient local website designer. Together, they call Edinburg, Texas, USA their home. Their shared passion for Colombia's avian wonders leads them on frequent journeys to the country, where they visit family and capture the beauty of birds through photography. 
Realizing the scarcity of information on these subjects, they recently united their talents to create a comprehensive website that seamlessly intertwines the avian biodiversity of Colombia with the burgeoning field of ecotourism. This collaborative effort stems from their mutual drive to fill the void in information and provide a platform that showcases the wealth of avian diversity in Colombia while shedding light on the promising field of ecotourism.
