Incredible Diversity of Birds
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 it’s appeal for birdwatchers. Visitors can observe both year-round residents and seasonal visitors, including rare and endemic species found nowhere else on Earth.
"We spent three days with Juan Manuel on our Colombia birding trip, and it was one of the best parts of our trip. Juan Manuel has a love for birds and natural history, and is fantastic at finding birds and making sure his clients get the shot. I highly recommend hiring Juan Manuel if you're visiting Colombia!"

"During my numerous birdwatching and photography tours in Colombia, Juan Manuel Cardona has proven to be without a doubt the best guide I’ve ever had. His extensive knowledge, patience, and ability to tailor his approach to the individual needs of his guests are truly exceptional. His knowledge of bird calls is particularly impressive – it helps immensely to identify species quickly in dense forests. Additionally, he has excellent didactic skills, so you gain a remarkable introduction to Colombia’s bird diversity in a very short time. This makes the tours so engaging that you hardly want to stop exploring. I can wholeheartedly recommend Juan Manuel Cardona – for me, he is one of the best birding guides in Colombia. If interested, I’d be happy to share more personal recommendations or details. "
