AFFILIATIONS
|
| . |
In October, 1992, Excursiones Guariquén was born
as the first receptive tour operator business in the
western coast of Puerto Rico. We chose the word
"guariquén" because in Arawak language it means
"look" or "come here and see".
Pioneers in the region, the initial objective of our
company was the development of a new and
responsible way of doing tourism towards the
exploring and recognition of the natural history of our
area and our Taíno roots. We started catering the
needs of locals with a complete program of tours and
expeditions departing from Mayagüez. Nevertheless,
our commitment with the region gained us islandwide
reputation with the creation of "La Ruta del Café" and
birding trips, which we have been offering since 1992.
One year later, AdvenTours was born (1993) as a
result of the requests we had for soft adventure
experiences from international travelers. We kept our
operation small to guarantee the quality of our service,
catering individuals and small groups.
We expanded our wings in 1997 offering our services
to the hotels located from San Juan to Fajardo. In
2001, we established a partnership with the US Forest
Service and by 2002 we opened a seasonal office in
Luquillo in order to offer night hikes at El Yunque.

After18 years in bussiness, all birding trips will be
offered using our new name for the birding programs:
Birding Puerto Rico by AdvenTours. Our initial
objective is still alive: to offer a high quality service on all
our personalized trips. We focus our Birding Program on
endemic species and sub-species. On the extended
ones, we also look for Caribbean specialties.
We are a fully licensed tour operator with Certified
Guides/Drivers by the Government and with all
necessary permits and endorsements to offer our
services, including night owling at El Yunque National
Forest.
Join me in this unique experience through different
birding sites in Puerto Rico, including several BirdLife
IBA´s.
