Colombia’s wealth of birds is a testament to its myriad habitats. Majestic Andean Cordilleras, serene inter-Andean valleys, lush Amazon and Orinoco lowland forests, isolated Santa Marta Mountains, picturesque Pacific and Caribbean coasts, vast deserts, sparkling lakes, and the dense Chocó wet forests all contribute to the plethora of niches that these many, many species occupy.

The Andean Cordilleras and inter-Andean valleys, in particular, play a crucial role in Colombia’s avian diversity. The evolution of these mountain ranges and valleys, with their varying altitudes, microclimates, and distinct vegetation zones, has led to a high degree of bird speciation and endemism, making Colombia such a unique biodiversity hotspot. Each cordillera and valley harbours its own set of avian treasures, waiting to be discovered.

With a staggering 89 endemic bird species, Colombia offers a truly unique birding experience. Our tours focus on a plethora of these endemics, offering birders the chance to see species that can’t be found anywhere else on Earth. From Santa Marta Parakeet in the Santa Marta Mountains to Antioquia Brushfinch in the Central Andes, the endemic-rich birdlife of Colombia is simply astonishing.
