This two-weeks tour (15 nights / 16 days) aims at seeing and enjoying the greatest number of endemic & near-endemic species within the most magnificent landscapes of the Central & Western Andes of Colombia, encompassing a wide range of ecosystems in a big altitudinal gradient. Tour itinerary covers thoroughly native forests within protected watersheds that supply water to the coffee region of the country. Additionally, birding takes place in the Pacific slope of the Western Andes, visiting key birding localities in the Mountain Chocó region, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.
Tour itinerary has been carefully planned in order to cover the greatest number and variety of nature ecosystems in the western slope of the Central Andes and the Pacific slope of the Western Andes, from 4,200 to 13,100 ft (1,300 – 4,000 m). You will visit the very best nature reserves within the buffer zone of Los Nevados National Park, where many watersheds have been declared as Important Bird Areas (IBAs), holding some of Colombia´s rarest and most threatened species.
This tour includes Cerro Montezuma in the Tatamá National Park, arguably the best place on earth to bird Mountain Chocó, a complex and highly biodiverse region shared only by Colombia, Ecuador & Panama. The itinerary also includes the Yellow-eared Parrot reserves near the town of Jardin in the Western Andes, and Las Tangaras reserve in Carmen de Atrato.
The tour provides a list of 684 plausible species! This includes 55 species of hummingbirds, 78 species of flycatchers, 123 species of tanagers, seedeaters & allies, 43 species of furnarids, 14 species of woodpeckers, 15 species of antpittas and 10 species of tapaculos!

This tour (7 nights / 8 days) has been carefully designed in order to cover the endemic, near-endemic & specialty birds of the gorgeous Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, adjacent Caribbean lowlands & La Guajira peninsula. The Santa Marta Mountains hosts an amazing concentration of endemic species, having evolved in isolation from the main Andes. Furthermore, it harbors a great number of near-endemics and race variations that are especially intriguing to experienced birders and newcomers into the world of birds.
Without doubt, covering “high”, intermediate and foothill habitats in the Santa Marta Mountains provides exposure to an incredible variety of birds. In addition, this tour visits protected nature reserves with dry scrubland and Caribbean wetlands at La Guajira Peninsula, in search for a big number of near-endemics shared between Colombia and Venezuela, but otherwise difficult to see in neighboring Venezuela.
Our guides are expert birders in the region, traveling through forests and wetlands in an almost daily routine. Thus, we know very well where the best birds are at any moment and time of the year, increasing your chances to see them well.
Expect good to fair lodges, tough roads in the mountains (unfortunately not good enough to continue all the way up into treeline ), basic lodging in Camarones or Riohacha (no hot water – it is too warm locals say) and amazing birding.
