Colombia is a bucket list destination for birders and bird photographers due to its incredible avian diversity - home to over one-fifth (over 1900) of all the world's bird species. Jackie will be partnering with local experts Niky and Mauricio (Mauro) Osso to ensure that you have plenty of photographic opportunities in birding hotspots  located in the Western and Central Andes. We will travel northward from Cali through the coffee region to Armenia to the Manizales area, experiencing a wide range of landscapes and ecosystems along the way.  Additionally, no trip to Colombia would be complete without a taste of Colombian culture, food, and coffee. For a more immersive experience into the culture, you will want to join the two day pre-tour, "Culture, Flavor, & Rhythm."Secure your spot with a $2,000 Deposit. (Balance due by September 30, 2026)
