Scheduled Tours

Our tours are designed for birdwatchers and nature photographers with a pace that adapts both to the destination and to the goals of each journey. Some itineraries aim to cover more ground and expand the list of species observed; others move at a gentler rhythm, allowing time to dive into particular experiences such as watching other wildlife or connecting with the cultural traditions that enrich each region. We offer journeys with a clear purpose: to record as many as possible in a country with extraordinary diversity.

Tailor - Made Tours

Tailor-made trips are the most personal way to experience birding adventures: you decide when, how, and with what focus to travel. These journeys give you the freedom to adjust the pace and include other interests, always prioritizing what matters most to you. We welcome solo travelers, couples, and small groups, offering the flexibility and close attention that define us. You set the direction whether it’s comfort, budget, intensity, or focus and we turn that vision into an experience crafted especially for you.

Testimonials

Our 2 week birding trip to the central highlands of Colombia was over the top because of Jose’ Luna. He is an expert guide who knows the songs, habitats and behaviors of the 368 species we spotted. He made everything happen that we hoped to accomplish on this extraordinary adventure. Besides being an excellent guide because of his birding expertise, he is thoughtful, sensitive to the needs of his guests and very easy going. He also included local guides in the various locations where we birded, which added such an authentic touch to our experience of beautiful Colombia, the birding capital of the world.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Jose. He arranged a perfect trip for us that combined the best of the Western and Central Andes. Saw over 300 species of birds with many endemics in the short time we were there. It has been by far one of the best birding trips we have been on. Highly recommend! Cheryl and Mike

Cheryl Rosenfeld, United States.

Johan did an excellent job for the week that we spent together on a private tour. We recorded over four hundred species and he was willing to put in the time needed to find as many of the target species as possible. He was very knowledgeable on the areas we visited and the birds in the area, and he worked well with the local guides we used. I would be happy to have him guide me on future trips to Colombia.
