This 11-day birding tour, which can be easily combined with our Santa Marta Endemics tour, begins with an exploration of Cali for Cauca Valley specialties, before driving up to the fabled ‘KM18’ for Multicoloured Tanager plus a host of colourful Tangara tanagers. We next travel north to Montezuma to some of the most beautiful cloudforest in Colombia. A suite of endemics is present here, including Munchique Wood-wren, Chestnut-bellied Flowerpiercer, Gold-ringed Tanager and Black-and-gold Tanager. Other tanagers keep us royally entertained, including jaw-droppers such as Purplish-mantled, Glistening-green, and Grass-green. Otún Quimbaya is next on the itinerary, with Cauca Guan and Red-ruffed Fruitcrow. Via Manizales we ascend the slopes of 5,429-metre-high Nevado del Ruiz for the stunning endemic Buffy Helmetcrest. Finally, we enjoy the energetic flocks and antpitta feeding stations of the Rio Blanco Reserve.
All meals are included.
A mixture of birding lodges and small hotels.
