Summary
Colombia is famed as one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, with the largest bird list of any country anywhere. Its mammals, though, are not very well known, despite the country hosting 450 species, many of them beautiful and iconic. This very special tour focuses particularly on its extraordinary range of charismatic and rare primates, many of which are endemic. We won’t neglect other mammals, with such delights as Jaguar and Giant Anteater possible, and we won’t ignore birds either. Among the places we will visit are Putumayo, in the deep south, and Los Llanos.
