El Cocuy National Park - Birding Colombia - Nature Tour

Escape to the Eastern Andes

Escape to the Eastern Andes

per person

A wonderful trip through the mountains of the Colombian Eastern Andes, where the Moorlands, the Cloud Forest, and some very special ecosystems, such as the Dry Forest of the Chicamocha Canyon, will provide a bunch of good species for your list, without being too far from Bogotá. A trip during which you will not have to worry about hot temperatures or long car journeys. Here you just have to worry about enjoying the culture, incredible landscapes and a huge variety of food in one of the most beautiful towns in Colombia (Villa de Leiva), but undoubtedly loads of great hummingbirds and some very special endemic species.

  • Dress Code
    This is a fairly standard birding tour with early morning starts and evening finishes to each day. One some days we may take picnic lunches in order to no waste time during the middle of the day or having to leave site. The weather can be unpredictable with rain and sunshine both likely. At higher altitudes it can be chilly. We have an amazing photo opportunity for many species of hummingbirds and other species coming to feeders, we will also be looking for a good number of species that are very rare and seldom seen, but we will be going to areas that hold these sought-after species.
