Come join us in some of the world’s most diverse and exciting destinations for birding and nature trips, in one of the world’s most fascinating countries. Colombia is experiencing a historical transformation politically, making it one of the safest travel destinations in Latin America, and our Colombian compatriots are eager to show off the biological, cultural, ethnic and gastronomic diversity the country has to offer. We want to welcome you to Colombia, with open arms and the guarantee that after birding with us in the birdiest country on the planet, you will not be disappointed!

We hope our site mesmerizes you with its breath-taking photography and that while you enjoy it you will also learn about our country and its avian diversity. The idea is to inspire you to pick from the set-departure trips we offer throughout the year, or perhaps help you plan your customized tour with us if you wish to travel with your spouse, family or a group of birding buddies. After all, travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

We are an efficient and reliable company, offering the highest level detail and service from start to finish.

NEW SPECIES FOR COLOMBIA


A new species to science has been discovered 90 minutes from Araucana Lodge, and locals are in the process of taming a pair so we hope to be able to visit the site in 2020. The bird is locally called Dancing Antpitta because it has a habit of shaking back and forth, but also in honor of the city of Cali, the salsa dancing capital of the world. This makes species number 562 for the city, one of the birdiest on the planet, home to more than 5% of the world’s species.

Hear What our Travelers Have to Say

“Overall, I give this trip a 9.5 out of 10 rating! The local guides were great, and Chris, as a tour leader and planner, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The best thing about the trip was how personal it was. Colombians treated us like royalty, but also like good friends. Safety was absolutely not an issue in the parts of Colombia we visited.” Sherry Perry, Klamath Falls, Oregon.
