Beautiful and educational tour that sparked my interest in birdwatching!

Natasha_W, May 2026

We had a great time with birding enthusiast Juan Camilo leading our group. We saw nearly 50 species of birds, went on a beautiful hike, saw a small waterfall, and had a delicious breakfast of traditional Colombian foods prepared vegan (we requested vegan meals at the time of booking). Juan Camilo is super knowledgeable about endemic bird species and their calls, and he was so enthusiastic about teaching us and sharing resources after the tour was finished. His English was also fantastic, so my friend who did not speak Spanish was able to communicate easily. Binoculars were provided. Definitely sign up for this tour if you have any interest in viewing and learning more about Colombian bird species!

Awesome birdwatching

Ivan and Nesto were wonderful guides. They are both very knowledgable about their country, their environment and all the flora and fauna in the Santa Rita area. Their knowledge of birds, in particular, is tremendous. In the group that was our extended family, a few had never given birdwatching much consideration. After this 5 hour excursion, in which we identified 45 different species, I know they will seek more opportunities in the futures. They have been converted!

A wonderful Day.

Ivan was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide who showed us more than 40 species. We are novice birdwatchers, but found him a kind and thorough guide. Highly recommend if you’re at all interested in bird watching.
