Following in the footsteps of our successful Multicoloured Tanager and Santa Marta Endemics tours, this holiday explores the eastern Andes and Magdalena Valley, with its many showy and rare delights. We start the tour with some fantastic introductory birding close to Bucaramanga, with its idyllic climate, no doubt sampling our first regional specialities of the tour before heading to the super Cerulean Warbler Reserve (a major wintering ground for this northern rarity) where we'll bird migrant-rich coffee plantations and pristine cloud forest. From here we'll transfer to Rio Claro Nature Reserve, birding along the way in wetlands and dry forest habitats. Rio Claro itself protects threatened low-lying Magdalena Valley forest which holds a treasure trove of rare and endemic species. The tours ends with 2 nights in the spectacular Combeima Canyon (with it's suite of Tolima endemics), followed by 2 nights in and around Bogota, where we'll bird high Paramo and wetland habitats. Some of the key targets and specialities along the way include Bogota Rail, Turquoise Dacnis, White-mantled Barbet, Beautiful Woodpecker, Andean Blossomcrown, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, Niceforo’s Wren and Silvery-throated Spinetail. Indeed, dozens of rare and restricted species are likely to be seen!

We offer additional extensions to this group tour. The pre-tour option is a 2-night extension, which targets more rare endemics including Green-bearded Helmetcrest and Brown-breasted Parakeet, to mention only a few!

Post-tour we offer the opportunity to visit Mitu, a bird-rich Amazonian outpost which holds an incredible suite of birds including many 'White-sand forest' specialities! 

  • Go in search of spectacular Golden-bellied Starfrontlet in beautiful cloudforest after touching down
  • Search the cloudforest near Ibague for several Magdalena Valley endemics
  • Fabulous scenery, with spectacular gorges, rivers, volcanoes and luxuriant lowland forest
  • Rio Claro Nature Reserve boasts rarities such as Beautiful Woodpecker, White-mantled Barbet and Sooty Ant-tanager
  • Cerulean Warbler Reserve good for endemics Turquoise Dacnis, Indigo-capped Hummingbird, Niceforo's Wren and others
  • 4x4 excursion for Black Inca and, with a lot of luck, Gorgeted Wood-quail
  • Day in Chingaza National Park searching the paramo
  • Excellent lodges and bilingual birding guides

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.

After arriving in Bogota on a direct overnight flight from London, this new tour will pitch us straight into a frenzy of hummingbird activity as we visit a special site on the mountainous outskirts of the city, where the endemic Indigocapped Hummingbird is a frequent visitor, along with the stunning Ruby-topaz Hummingbird and a dozen or so others. This dazzling hummingbird spectacle and a cup of freshly-brewed Colombian coffee will be the perfect antidote to our trans-Atlantic flight!

We will then descend into the lower Magdalena Valley, near the town of Libano, where surviving pockets of Andean forest hold some sought-after endemics such as Crested Ant-tanager, Yellow-headed Brush-finch, Blossomcrown and Velvet-fronted Euphonia. Further north, we will spend some time exploring the humid tropical forest of the Rio Claro Nature Reserve on the eastern slope of the central cordillera. A geological feature of this reserve is a spectacular canyon through which the Rio Claro drains into the Magdalena. Here, too, endemic birds provide a focal point for our exploits and include White-mantled Barbet, Beautiful Woodpecker, Sooty Anttanager, Antioquia Bristle-tyrant and Colombian Chachalaca, while the reserve is also noteworthy for its five resident species of manakin. Although mammals are not the focus of this tour, we may nevertheless run into a troop of endemic Silvery-brown Bare-face Tamarins, or perhaps a shy Neotropical Otter.

Our journey northwards along the valley brings with it more exciting possibilities, including the rare Recurve-billed Bushbird, a critically endangered species with a global population of less than a thousand individuals. It favours patches of secondary growth and bamboo in Colombia and neighbouring Venezuela and was only recently rediscovered after a 40-year absence. While searching for this rarity we might also come across the inconspicuous White-bibbed Manakin – another regional speciality.

Our next destination is the Cerulean Warbler Reserve, a buffer to the much larger and generally inaccessible Yariguies National Park. Highlights close to our well-appointed lodge might include three Colombian endemics: Turquoise Dacnis, the skulking Niceforo’s Wren and perhaps the rare Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird, which has been known to visit the lodge feeders. Above the lodge, a steep 45-minute walk will bring us into some pristine Andean montane forest, reached on horseback if you'd prefer! Avian gems here include Gorgeted Wood-quail, Black Inca and Parker’s Antbird. As throughout the tour, we should find a fine selection of boreal migrants here, amongst them the Cerulean Warbler, after which the reserve is named, a vulnerable migrant which winters in the reserve in significant numbers.

After a short flight back to Bogota, we will spend a full day in high-altitude páramo habitat in the spectacular Chingaza National Park, where such spectacular species as Green-bearded Helmetcrest, Crimson-mantled Woodpecker and the eastern subspecies of Golden-fronted Whitestart occur. Our tour concludes as it started, in another magnificent hummingbird garden frequented by the mesmerising Sword-billed Hummingbird and glittering Blue-throated Starfrontlet amongst others – a paradise for photographers.

This holiday has been designed along the same lines that have made our Multicoloured Tanager and Santa Marta tours so popular, with top bilingual bird guides, the best accommodation available and comfortable four-wheel-drive vehicles for when the going gets bumpy. Do join us in the birding Mecca that is Colombia in 2020!

[name] => Montezuma Lodge [slug] => montezuma-lodge [description] => [introduction] => Situated on the eastern flank of the Western Andes within the Tatama National Park, Montezuma is a very simple lodge, but what it lacks in luxury, it more than makes up for in its quality of birding. 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.

Summary

After arriving in Bogota on a direct overnight flight from London, this new tour will pitch us straight into a frenzy of hummingbird activity as we visit a special site on the mountainous outskirts of the city, where the endemic Indigocapped Hummingbird is a frequent visitor, along with the stunning Ruby-topaz Hummingbird and a dozen or so others. This dazzling hummingbird spectacle and a cup of freshly-brewed Colombian coffee will be the perfect antidote to our trans-Atlantic flight!

We will then descend into the lower Magdalena Valley, near the town of Libano, where surviving pockets of Andean forest hold some sought-after endemics such as Crested Ant-tanager, Yellow-headed Brush-finch, Blossomcrown and Velvet-fronted Euphonia. Further north, we will spend some time exploring the humid tropical forest of the Rio Claro Nature Reserve on the eastern slope of the central cordillera. A geological feature of this reserve is a spectacular canyon through which the Rio Claro drains into the Magdalena. Here, too, endemic birds provide a focal point for our exploits and include White-mantled Barbet, Beautiful Woodpecker, Sooty Anttanager, Antioquia Bristle-tyrant and Colombian Chachalaca, while the reserve is also noteworthy for its five resident species of manakin. Although mammals are not the focus of this tour, we may nevertheless run into a troop of endemic Silvery-brown Bare-face Tamarins, or perhaps a shy Neotropical Otter.

Our journey northwards along the valley brings with it more exciting possibilities, including the rare Recurve-billed Bushbird, a critically endangered species with a global population of less than a thousand individuals. It favours patches of secondary growth and bamboo in Colombia and neighbouring Venezuela and was only recently rediscovered after a 40-year absence. While searching for this rarity we might also come across the inconspicuous White-bibbed Manakin – another regional speciality.

Our next destination is the Cerulean Warbler Reserve, a buffer to the much larger and generally inaccessible Yariguies National Park. Highlights close to our well-appointed lodge might include three Colombian endemics: Turquoise Dacnis, the skulking Niceforo’s Wren and perhaps the rare Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird, which has been known to visit the lodge feeders. Above the lodge, a steep 45-minute walk will bring us into some pristine Andean montane forest, reached on horseback if you'd prefer! Avian gems here include Gorgeted Wood-quail, Black Inca and Parker’s Antbird. As throughout the tour, we should find a fine selection of boreal migrants here, amongst them the Cerulean Warbler, after which the reserve is named, a vulnerable migrant which winters in the reserve in significant numbers.

After a short flight back to Bogota, we will spend a full day in high-altitude páramo habitat in the spectacular Chingaza National Park, where such spectacular species as Green-bearded Helmetcrest, Crimson-mantled Woodpecker and the eastern subspecies of Golden-fronted Whitestart occur. Our tour concludes as it started, in another magnificent hummingbird garden frequented by the mesmerising Sword-billed Hummingbird and glittering Blue-throated Starfrontlet amongst others – a paradise for photographers.

This holiday has been designed along the same lines that have made our Multicoloured Tanager and Santa Marta tours so popular, with top bilingual bird guides, the best accommodation available and comfortable four-wheel-drive vehicles for when the going gets bumpy. Do join us in the birding Mecca that is Colombia in 2020!
