Colombia is famous among birders for having the highest species list of any country in the world— more than 1850 species! This trip serves as an introduction to the birds of the Colombian Andes, which constitutes one of most biodiverse regions of the planet. The Colombian Andes are at the heart of hummingbird and tanager diversity and home to many endemic species. This means we could see classic Andean species like Sword-billed Hummingbird, Crescent-faced Antpitta, White-capped Tanager, and Black-billed and Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucans, along with numerous Colombian endemics, including the likes of Hooded, Brown-banded, and Bicolored Antpittas, Crested Ant-Tanager, Buffy Helmetcrest, Multicolored Tanager and many more. We should expect to find well over 300 species of birds!

After decades of civil war and instability, Colombia has become increasingly popular as a birding and tourist destination over the last fifteen years. This is with good reason—besides the incredible birding, it has a fantastic network of lodges, guides, and protected areas, all of which we will take advantage of, that make birding and traveling there a real treat. On top of this, it is now a very safe country to visit. We will have a top Colombian birding guide with us for the duration of the trip, which coincides with the dry season, so the weather should be excellent.
