OUR BIRDING AND WILDLIFE DESTINATIONS
Colombia is located in the northwest of South America, its rich geography is characterized by its six main natural regions, each of which has unique characteristics and makes it one of the best destinations in the world for bird watching. Latin America contains the lowland and highland forests with the highest abundance of species on the planet, many of them with a reduced range of distribution and with a high number of endemisms in their isolated ecosystems, which makes it one of the best destinations for bird and wildlife watching in the world.
Latin America comprises the lowland and highland forests with the highest bird-diversity on the planet, many of them with restricted distribution ranges and a remarkable number of endemisms in most of their isolated ecosystems, in consequence, Colombia is a paradise on earth for photographers and nature lovers, and of course, no one better for birdwatchers and ornithologists.
