This Amazonian tour blends two of the best destinations for birding in the Amazonian ecosystems that include the Orinoco basin forest in Inírida and the unusual Guiana Shield white sands forest in Mitú. During this exploration we should see more than 400 species of birds, some of which are among the rarest in Colombia. The indigenous culture, wildlife-rich river systems and the biodiversity and we have the perfect combination for us to have a wonderful trip in the Colombian Amazon. Good, comfortable hotels and short travel journeys makes our trip easy and full of birds.
Enjoying incredible bird groups such as hummingbirds, Antpittas, Tapaculos, Tanagers and Fruiteaters and more (over 350 species can be seen on this route), we will visit unbelievable hummingbird feeders and the famous antpitta feeders of Hacienda El Bosque. We also will bird in the Central Andes near Los Nevados National Park where we will search for high elevation species and try to not get too distracted by the scenic volcanoes draped with glaciers.

Colombia hosts the highest diversity of bird species of any country in the world with just under 2,000! This is primarily due to an incredibly varied geography packed into a relatively small area. From the spectacular Andes mountains to the vast tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands of the Llanos in the east; the pacific coast and the Choco ecoregion, an amazingly biodiverse area that receives some of the highest rainfall totals in the world, to the Caribbean coast and the isolated Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; and the undisturbed lowland rainforests of the Amazon, Colombia is home to some world class birding areas. On this venture we will be focusing on the rich forests and birdlife of Colombia's Amazon.
