Birding with the natives: Birdwatching in Colombia with local guides is the best option, we were born and raised here; we know, live and feel our country: birds, ecosystems, people, culture etc.

These good human beings truly enjoy being on field guiding and meeting new people with mutual passions: nature and birds !
