·Arne Lesterhuis - Dutch by birth, Arne has been working and traveling in Paraguay ever since 2000 and a fanatical birder ever since he could walk. A qualified wildlife manager, working for Birdlife International, he has also worked for Guyra Paraguay on field projects in all corners of the country. Arne is fascinated by migration patterns, especially those of the dull-coloured migratory shorebirds like plovers and sandpipers, a slightly odd interest for somebody living in an landlocked country… Arne leads cultural tours, Short Breaks and Day trips out of Asunción. He speaks English, German, Dutch and Spanish.
