Colombia Flatlands and Harpy Eagle Extension

Discover one of Colombia’s most exciting bird photography adventures, a journey designed to capture the extraordinary diversity of the Andes, the eastern foothills, and the vast tropical savannas. From the first day overlooking Bogotá at the iconic Cerro de Monserrate, your camera will be immersed in a dazzling world of hummingbirds and colorful mountain species, including the spectacular Sword-billed Hummingbird, the elegant Blue-throated Starfrontlet, and the remarkable Black-tailed Trainbearer. As the expedition moves east into lush foothill forests like La Leona Birdwatch, you will explore vibrant habitats where manakins, emerald hummingbirds, and brilliant forest jewels appear in perfect photographic settings.

The adventure then unfolds across the dramatic Llanos savannas and Amazonian foothills, where wetlands, gallery forests, and open plains offer encounters with striking species such as Scarlet Ibis, Chestnut-eared Aracari, and the iconic Giant Anteater. A highlight of the journey is the rare opportunity to observe and photograph the legendary Harpy Eagle in its natural nesting territory, one of the most powerful and elusive raptors on Earth. The tour concludes in the misty Andean cloud forests of Refugio del Tororoi Reserve, where dedicated hides and feeders provide exceptional chances to photograph the endemic Cundinamarca Antpitta and a glittering array of hummingbirds. This carefully crafted expedition combines breathtaking landscapes, world-class birding locations, and unforgettable wildlife encounters—an inspiring experience for photographers and nature lovers seeking Colombia’s most extraordinary species.

Important: If the Harpy Eagle nest is not active, the itinerary will be only 10 days.
