Untamed Birds of Colombia Expeditions

 

Colombia is the only South American country where this woodpecker can be found, and we had several chances to see and photograph them at a some of the sites on our Birds of Colombia Expedition.

 

Starting in Valle de Cauca around the city of Cali, we visit multiple sites specifically chosen for the birds that can be found and the photographic opportunities the sites provide. We then travel north, making stops at select sites, eventually spending several days around the incredibly diverse area of Manizales, Caldas.

 

While this trip only explores a small part of the worlds most bird diverse country, it is chock a block with with special species including Colombian endemics and other rare species!

 

Any questions about our Untamed Birds of Colombia Expedition?

 

We have a scouting trip planned later this year to explore yet more of Colombia and find more top bird photography sites.

 

So stay tuned!
