This tour will bring you to the best places for birding surrounding Bogotá. The place displays a terrific range of habitats from Moorlands at 4000 MSL, to the plains at just 300 MSL. We will visit the area of the Prairie foothills, which is one of the least explored places in Colombia and the territory for the little known Spot-winged Parakeet and many more magnificent birds.

  • 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.
