Arrival Medellín — Welcome Briefing
Arrival at José María Córdova International Airport. Transfer to hotel in El Poblado. Welcome dinner and expedition briefing — species targets, checklists, and field strategy for the 16 days ahead.

Sixteen days traversing all three Andean cordilleras — from Antioquia's endemics to Risaralda's cloud forests to Bogotá's high-altitude wetlands. The most comprehensive Andean birding available in Colombia.
This is Colombia's flagship birding expedition: a continuous traverse of the Western, Central, and Eastern Andes covering Antioquia, Caldas, Risaralda, and Cundinamarca. Starting in Medellín and ending in Bogotá, we cross through cloud forests, páramo, coffee landscapes, and high-altitude wetlands, targeting over 450 species and covering the full spectrum of Andean endemics. From the Red-bellied Grackle in Anorí to the Gold-ringed Tanager in Risaralda to the Bogotá Rail in Chingaza — this tour represents the summit of Colombian Andean birding.
