Discover Latin America’s Hidden Reptiles & Amphibians

Embark on an unforgettable herping adventure in Latin America with Trogon Tours, where expert guides lead you to some of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet. For wildlife enthusiasts, searching for reptiles and amphibians—commonly known as herps—is an exciting and rewarding challenge. Many of these animals are nocturnal, highly secretive, and exceptionally well-camouflaged, making expert-led herping tours the best way to observe and photograph them in the wild.

Our specialized Latin America herping tours take you deep into the Neotropics, a region that spans from southern Mexico to the southern tip of South America. Home to nearly 80% of all known reptile species and amphibian species, this region boasts an incredible diversity of frogs, lizards, snakes, turtles, and more. Whether you’re searching for vibrant poison dart frogs in the rainforests of Panama, tracking anacondas in the Amazon, or spotting Andean lizards, Trogon Tours provides a unique wildlife experience designed for passionate naturalists and photographers.

Because reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded animals, they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. Many amphibians also require humid environments, which is why the tropical rainforests, cloud forests, and wetlands of Latin America provide the perfect conditions for these species to thrive. From misty highland forests to lush Amazonian floodplains, our herping expeditions take you to the most productive locations for finding these elusive creatures.

Beyond the well-known hotspots of Central America and the Amazon Basin, Trogon Tours also offers herping expeditions to Patagonia, an often-overlooked but fascinating destination for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. The remote landscapes of southern South America are home to numerous endemic species, many of which are found in isolated, hard-to-reach habitats. Exploring Patagonia’s wild terrain provides a rare opportunity to document species that few have seen, making it an exciting frontier for dedicated herp photographers.

By joining a Trogon Tours herping expedition, you’ll not only encounter an incredible array of Neotropical reptiles and amphibians, but you’ll also have the chance to observe iconic Latin American wildlife such as monkeys, toucans, caimans, and even the elusive jaguar. Our expert guides, with years of field experience, know exactly where to find the most spectacular herpetofauna, ensuring a one-of-a-kind wildlife experience. Whether trekking through a rainforest at night or scanning sunlit riverbanks during the day, every moment spent herping with Trogon Tours is an adventure in discovery.
