What Our Birders Say

We enjoyed the experience with our team of Sebastian and Alejandro. They were fun and knowledgeable about birds and we saw lots of birds. Sebastian communicated with us to make sure we had all the information we needed. Lots of uphill walking but we went slow and stopped to look for the birds. Enjoyable day.

Sebastian was very knowledgeable about the area and where to find different species and was a very good spotter with a lot of patience and was very keen to help in any way - especially as it was a particularly wet and cold day and his perseverance paid off.

My wife and I went out with Sebastian and had a great day of birding. What a really nice guy! I am almost 70 so not as young as their average guests but he was patient and set a pace I could handle. Made us some great sandwiches for lunch and had additional snacks for us as well. And coffee and water. We saw a number of birds, some endemic to Columbia. The highlight for us was two fledgling Acorn Woodpeckers just leaving the nest and thinking about flying. Saw a Caracara, an Ibis, some Oropendolas, some Parakeets and many small colourful songbirds and hummingbirds. the trail is hilly so be prepared for a workout! Thanks for a great day, Sebastian!

We had the best time!!! We highly recommend booking this tour! They were so knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind! We got to go out into nature, see a new area, and spotted the most beautiful birds! It was our favorite part of the trip! Cant want to do it again next time!

We had a delightful morning with Sebastian and Ana. One guide who speaks English, and knows birds and the other a biologist. We spotted a lot of birds, which were then professionally identified by sight and sound. We felt the whole 6 hours was tailored just for us. Bonus was to visit a new part of the forest and enjoy the scenery. A delightful day out alround, professional, informative, and value for money. Thank you Sebastian and Ana.

This tour was fantastic! We started early in the morning to maximize our bird sightings and ended up seeing aroudn 40 species of native birds. Our guide was an expert who could very quickly identify birds by sight or sound and helped us learn to do the same. They also had an interpreter which was very helpful because our Spanish is beginner level. We loved seeing birds that we never would have spotted on our own and were stunned by the diversity. This would be a great tour for beginners or more advanced birders. One of our favorite experiences we had in Medellin!
