WHAT TO EXPECT

The goal of this tour is to create a diverse affordable birding experience that strikes a balance between observing birds in their natural habitat and locations with dedicated feeders.

The Andean Region is one of the best areas in Colombia for bird photography due to it’s elevation diversity.  With clouds filling the sky nearly all day, it creates even light to bring out the beautiful colors of the Colombian birds. Frequent rain creates additional drama to a scene, and the tree branches are covered with hanging moss + algae provide additional character to the composition.

I would expect to observe a minimum of 30 species per day. Take a look at the “Birds of Colombia” Portfolio. All of the birds with the exception of 2 or 3, were photographed at the locations we’ll be visiting.

ADDITIONAL INFO

Private tours available upon request.

Tours will be from Sunday to Saturday and limited to a maximum of 6 people.

Semi-Monthly video meetings 3 months prior to the Tour Date to ensure all questions are answered, and we’re prepped to have a successful trip.

A refundable deposit of $500 will be required to secure a spot. Full payment will be due prior to booking hotel arrangements about two months from the tour date. The deposit is refundable up until the time hotel arrangements are completed. If a cancellation occurs after this time period, a refund can still occur if you or I can find someone to fill the vacant spot.

I will promptly respond to any questions about the tour.
