WINGS Birding Tours – Photo Gallery

Colombia: Central

The Eastern and Central Cordilleras and the Magdalena Valley

Colombia is a very welcoming country!
The bird diversity (here a Collared Inca)…
… is absolutely incredible (here a Barred Fruiteater)…
…as is obviously the diversity of plants…
…and insects!
Using a comfortable minibus for most of the tour…
… and occasionally jeeps when the roads turn too bad…
… we will travel from Montane Temperate Forest with Black-billed Mountain-Toucan…
… or Blue-backed Conebill…
… and visit some Tropical Forest (always staying on large tracks or along roads)…
… looking for beauties such as this Collared Trogon…
… or this cute Chestnut-bellied Chat-Tyrant!
Temperatures will range from hot in the Magdalena Valley, home of this Barred Puffbird…
… to much cooler at the high elevations of Nevados del Ruiz NP…
… where we have a chance to find the endemic Buffy Helmetcrest!
We will use modern and comfortable hotels, as well as lovely countryside hotels…
… and occasionally more basic accommodations, but always with hot water and private bathroom.
One of the attractions of this tour is to visit several feeding stations…
… attracting colorful tanagers…
… and plenty of sparkling…
… and amazing hummingbirds…
… sometimes even coming to your hands!
Even the elusive antpittas, here a Chestnut-crowned Antpitta, are attracted to feeding stations…
… offering great photo opportunities…
… or unique opportunities for study!
You will see, birding in Colombia is overwhelming…
… and it will often be difficult to leave these beautiful places…
… their incredible birds…
… colorful butterflies…
… orchids…
… and lovely people!
