Brilliant tour to La Carbonera - This has to be the definitive tour to see a huge area of wax palms high in the Andes. Santiago, our guide was an enthusiastic expert at finding even the most elusive of birds, and during our day we saw various species of toucans and also the very rare yellow eared parrot. Extremely good sightings of all of these, and in all, over 40 spp for the day. However, the La Carbonera at over 3300 metres is something very special. Our driver was careful and considerate and an accomplished bird spotter in his own right. Overall one of our best experiences in Colombia.

A tour charm - Really lovely tour, nice scenery, enjoyable walk, all very organized, our guide Jhon was quite attentive. Thank you.

Best day of birding, hiking and photography we’ve ever had - What a great day! 51 unique species, and a wonderful hike on the “route of the toucans” in the Cocora valley. Camilo was the perfect guide for us - very friendly, good sense of humor, passion and knowledge. He was patient when we wanted to stop for pictures, and excited to show off so many great species. The hike was beautiful, not too crowded, and had very little rain. We loved seeing so many new lifers, but the best were the black and chestnut eagle eating a sickle-winged guan on the tree right in front of us, the black billed mountain toucan, southern emerald toucanet, the Trogon in perfect position for photography, and then finally, seeing the Andean Condor. So so cool. I’m a photographer and got so many incredible shots, I’ll be editing for weeks!

Great introduction into Birding - Jorge is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He has a very, very sharp eye for birds and the bes part is you can sense his excitement every time he finds one. That sort of excitement is contagious, especially for beginners like me! He offers many different kinds of birding tours so reach out to him to see what options are available. Even on this beginners tour, we saw birds for the first time that were incredibly colorful and seemed very exotic.

Book this tour!! - Jorge was such a great guide! We saw so many birds and had a lot of fun. Highly recommend!! I’m a bit of a birder and went with 4 friends who aren’t birders and we all had a great experience.

Easy birding experience - Jorge is a fun and knowledgeable guide. We saw so many beautiful birds and plants, and enjoyed a casual hike. I especially liked the colorful toucanets, they are so fun to see!
