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.

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.
