Originally from Monterrey, Mexico, Sandra Mendiola discovered her passion for wildlife through countless family camping trips, a curiosity that eventually led her to study biology and become a birding guide. With a background in ecology, conservation, and avian field research, she brings both scientific expertise and an attentive eye to every outing. Sandra’s patient, immersive guiding style helps guests of all experience levels feel comfortable slowing down, noticing the details, and building a deeper connection with the birds and ecosystems around them. She believes the most rewarding part of birding isn’t simply finding birds—it’s sharing those unforgettable moments in nature with others.
