Summary:
We had an exceptional tour with Alberto. Alberto took time find out what our interests were and made sure he delivered. His knowledge of the site and the history were exceptional as was his sharing of information about the region and environment positive efforts being made in the region. On the site visit he had created models of a few things so he could better explain how they would have worked which made the explanations very understandable. We mentioned an interest in birds and Alberto took the time to find birds for us. We are looking forward to heading to Huatulco again and will be contacting Alberto to ensure we can take advantage of other services.
