A piece of paradise away from city life - This experience was the highlight of our trip to Cartagena. From pick up to drop off, we had a wonderful few hours experiencing true Colombia. The work the Foundation do is incredible, with a true focus on conservation and wildlife. From preparing food, feeding the birds, seeing monkeys and tortoises to horse riding and planting a chosen tree, we wouldn’t recommend this more highly. A huge special thanks to Roshan, AndrĆ©s and Paulina for being wonderful guides and hosts - the passion they have for their jobs is exemplary and their knowledge out of this world - THANK YOU!!!

This is a MUST DO when visiting Cartagena. DO NOT pass this tour up. This is quite the experience! - This tour is located an hour outside Cartagena. We were a little down that there was a light drizzle out. We were given an opportunity to reschedule or go through with the tour, we chose to go through with it. No regrets! Rain suits, rain boots, and helmets were provided. Such lifesavers and a very thoughtful gesture for the tour. A small snack was provided before and after the tour. The staff and tour guides were excellent throughout the tour. They provided great customer service and made the tour worth every penny! Adjustments were made to fit the weather and no experience was left off the itinerary. From fruit cutting to bird feeding, 4 wheeling, the views and sunset, to horseback riding, and planting trees. This was definitely worth the experience! I hope Fundacion Loros gets to see an expansion over the next few years. The place is a beauty!

Must do in Cartagena Colombia! - ✨ Just an hour outside of Cartagena, we discovered the magic of the Loros Foundation 🌿🦜. From a warm welcome with a farm-fresh breakfast to preparing fruit and feeding the parrots inside their enclosure, the day was unforgettable. šŸš™ A UTV ride led us to spot a family of 6 cotton-top monkeys, and horseback riding carried us to the highest point of the 1,200-acre reserve, stopping by the macaw release site. One of the most meaningful moments? Planting my very own white cherry tree 🌳 on the hillside. The Loros Foundation is doing incredible work in bird rehabilitation and reforestation, and I’m so grateful to have experienced it firsthand. šŸ’š Please book with them, you won’t regret it!!

Most Definitely Worth it - Amazing experience. The Birds were gorgeous and the horseback riding was awesome. My horse blanquito was so well behaved. Andres was a top Tier tour guide as well. Definitely worth the money and the mission of the sanctuary is inspiring.

Bilingual Friendly + Nature Lover Approved!! - Corina was an amazing and very friendly bilingual guide. At the end of the tour we wished it never ended. Though small, we felt that the work we did at the sanctuary played a role in the larger impact Fundación Loros has in Colombia and the world. Riding horses and looking at amazing views made the trip even better!

Simply perfect - This is a terrific experience to have a lot of fun while learning. The birds are majestic and having a chance to feed them was incredible. The horseback riding was so fun and brought us to the top of the mountain to see a breathtaking sunset. The staff were absolutely amazing and was passionate, friendly and knowledgeable. We picked papaya for thr animals, drank wine and coffee and planted trees. This is an absolute must!!

Fun and educational day trip from Cartagena- highly recommend! - Alejandro went above and beyond to give us an amazing and unique experience we won’t forget. It’s a very cool mix of adventure plus education. We participated training parrots to be released into the wild, rode horses, took an ATV tour, met local farmers, and were served delicious refreshments. We were extremely impressed with all the tour guides. They were very interesting to talk to, friendly, patient, and great with kids. Also they simplified logistics by providing transportation both ways to and from Cartagena. This day trip exceeded expectations and gave us new insights into both animal protection and farming around Cartagena. Thank you so much!
