Colombia, home to more species of bird than any other country, is steadily blossoming into one of the world’s great wildlife-watching destinations. Over recent years, Colombia has returned to a stable democracy, shaken off negative stereotypes and has carved a reputation for itself as one of Latin America’s most welcoming countries. Colombia is absolutely bursting with biodiversity, and it is equally full of hospitable folk, who pride themselves on living in ‘the most welcoming country on Earth’. Colombia’s astonishingly varied geography gives rise to five distinct ecological zones (the Andean, the Orinoco, the Pacific Chocó, the Amazon and the Caribbean region), each of which offers unique microhabitats that reveal unmatched ecological diversity. Pristine and previously unexplored areas of wildlife habitat are continually opening up to visitors, which presents extremely exciting opportunities for us, as nature aficionados.


Colombia boasts the longest bird list of any country, containing over 1,900 species! This extraordinary number is due to many factors, including its wide variety of habitats, latitude and geography, which allows for many migrant species. Dominated by the Andes, much of Colombia is mountainous; it also has Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, Amazon rainforest and Llanos (plains). Though it lies in the tropics, Colombia’s wide altitudinal range creates complex climatic variation.

The wealth of avian-life here is mind-boggling and includes species such as Gold-ringed Tanager, Parker’s Antbird, Crested Ant-tanager and Chestnut-bellied Flowerpiercer. Days will generally begin early, travelling for around 90 minutes to the summit along the bumpy roads in 4WD vehicles. On arrival enjoy a steaming cup of Colombian coffee while admiring the panoramic views across to Cerro Tatama before the birding begins in earnest. The remainder of the morning will be spent birding the slopes, stopping for particular targets or for any mixed-species feeding flocks. Later in the afternoon return to the lodge and enjoy watching the various hummingbirds and tanagers that gather at the numerous feeders dispersed throughout the productive lodge grounds. After dark, the newly described Olinguito often puts in an appearance to feast on bananas!

The gardens are also well stocked with feeders, and the compost heap offers chances for Santa Marta Wood Quail. The lodge itself is comprised of 10 standard rooms and five ‘kogihabs’ (individual huts inspired by the local indigenous people of the Sierra Nevada). While the kogihabs are located a 15-minute walk from the main lodge, they offer spectacular panoramic views of the mountains and for those looking for a little privacy, they offer a truly special experience.
