About Belize Wings
and your guide, Fermin Tzib

Fermin Tzib is a Belizean of Maya descent. He completed his early education in Belize before residing in Illinois, USA for two years. While there, he studied Agriculture, and Bird Biology at Cornell.

He returned to Belize where he worked in the field at the Mayan temple site, Caracol, cataloguing birds and other wildlife. The work was undertaken for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and funded by the New York Zoological Society. The development of Caracol into Belize's flagship Mayan tourist attraction led to Fermin's interest in tourism.

Fermin went back to school and was one of the first to receive the Belize Tourism Certificate. Subsequently he has received certification in SCUBA diving. He has worked extensively throughout Belize and portions of Guatemala. He has guided many trips for International Expeditions, The Nature Convervancy, Audubon Society and Smithsonian.

Fermin has varied interests but is especially knowledgeable in birding. He pursues this interest whenever possible, even attending birding symposiums in the United States on numerous occasions.

Fermin believes in personal services and will tailor any itinerary, whenever possible, to meet your exact needs.
