Incredible Diversity

Colombia is a birder's paradise, boasting one of the richest avian diversities in the world. With over 1,900 bird species recorded, it ranks first globally in bird biodiversity. This exceptional variety is due to Colombia's unique geography, which encompasses diverse ecosystems from coastal regions and rainforests to high-altitude Andean habitats.

The country's location at the intersection of Central and South America makes it a crucial stopover for many migratory species, adding to its appeal for birdwatchers. Visitors can observe both year-round residents and seasonal visitors, including rare and endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Some prized sightings include the Andean Cock-of-the-rock, the Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, and the endangered Yellow-eared Parrot.

Colombia's commitment to conservation and ecotourism has led to the establishment of numerous protected areas and birding hotspots. Places like the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Chocó region, and the Amazon rainforest offer unparalleled opportunities for bird enthusiasts. Additionally, the country's improving infrastructure and growing network of experienced local guides make it increasingly accessible for birders of all levels.
