TANAGER FINCH - Oreothraupis arremonops (Ref: Ave02400)
With no
doubt, Colombia
is a privileged country for the great biodiversity that it holds and for the
beauty of its birds, butterflies, flowers and landscapes. But this nature is
extremely fragile and it is threatened today, needing fast and effective
actions that can guarantee its protection. For this reason, I have decided to
share the images of the natural world that move me into action, with an
invitation to sum up for its conservation.
Also, I
have decided to share with others my enthusiasm for birds and the natural world,
offering birding excursions for advanced, intermediate and new birders, and excursions
for those who enjoy nature photography. In these excursions we visit the best birding
spots in Colombia
and the most beautiful nature reserves for memorable photographic opportunities.
This is how I came to establish a small touring company named Birding Tours Colombia
(National Tourism Registry No. 19275), organizing excursions according to the
needs and interests of our clients.
Since 2003
I have dedicated a commensurable part of my time in helping others to develop
ecotourism as a tool for the conservation of nature and as an instrument for
improving the wellbeing of rural communities in Colombia. Working with
organizations such as Agroecotur, Fundación CIPAV, Resnatur, Fundación Horizonte
Verde and many others, we have developed important initiatives in agritourism,
ecotourism and nature tourism in Colombia,
Venezuela and Bolivia. Thus,
through Agroecotur we offer training courses and workshops for people and
institutions that want to promote tourism as an important productive and
economic activity in rural areas.
