Day Trip Birding

Our morning tour offers an immersive experience into the landscapes, wildlife, and flavors of the Colombian Andes. Running from 6:00 a.m. to noon, the experience combines guided bird-watching, scenic trails, traditional cuisine, and spectacular mountain views in a relaxed and personalized setting.

Whether you are completely new to bird watching or an experienced birder pursuing a long species list, we tailor the tour to your interests and level of experience.

For beginner birders and nature lovers, the focus is on the region’s most colorful and charismatic species— hummingbirds, parrots, tanagers, honeycreepers, and more. The sanctuary is alive with movement and color throughout the morning, and most guests observe at least 30 bird species during the tour.

For experienced birders, our guides use advanced field techniques and deep local knowledge to maximize identification opportunities. By combining bird calls and songs, habitat specialization, and observing behavior, flight patterns, and seasonal movements, we help guests observe as many species as possible. Skilled birders frequently record between 90 and 110 species in a single morning.

Lodging for Overnighters

We recently completed renovation of the Ranch House. The Ranch House allows you to immerse yourself in Colombian farm life, with two bedrooms and bathrooms for guests. In the kitchen our cook prepares delicious meals that are served on the front porch family style.

We are also about to complete construction of a luxurious private cabin optimized for birding. The cabin has incredible views of forest edges to the south, the central chain of the Andes to the east, and it is surrounded by private, Eden-like gardens design to attract our most photogenic birds.
