An 11-day bird-photography journey across Colombia’s Andes with a Brazilian guest, crafted for photographers who want time on the subject—not rushed sightings. We started in Bogotá and headed into the High Andes at La Calera for hummingbird photography, where repetition and clean setups make it ideal for action shots and sharp, portfolio-ready frames.
The route then continued via MedellĂn into the Western Andes, working the cloud forests around JardĂn with dedicated sessions at reliable hotspots, including JardĂn de Rocas (Andean Cock-of-the-rock) and Reserva Los Guácharos. As the trip progressed, we crossed into new elevations and habitats through the Central Andes, adding variety in light, backgrounds, and species—then focused on proven photography sites like Bird’s Home in MistratĂł and RĂo Blanco, famous for close-range forest moments and high-Andean specialties. We also included Hacienda El Bosque before finishing in Valle del Cauca.
The final stretch near Cali delivered a strong closing sequence: Bosque de Niebla, Finca La Florida (with chances for Multicolored Tanager), and a last morning at Doña Dora (Km 18), where the cloud-forest edge can produce frame-filling, colorful subjects to end the tour on a high note.
