Overview

If you are interested in birdwatching or just starting out, our Salento birdlife tour is perfect for you. It provides an introduction to the diverse bird species present in the town and takes you to some of the best birdwatching areas where you can observe them. Additionally, our expert guides will accompany you throughout the tour and answer any questions you may have about the fascinating world of birds.

The striking bird species like tanagers, toucanets, parrots and hummingbirds are even more vibrant and colourful than Salento’s iconic streets and traditional plantations filled with coffee trees and tropical fruits. While other species like the famous Andean Motmot (Momotus aequatorialis) and Sparkling Violetear (Colibri coruscans) can be a little more difficult to spot in the surrounding lush cloud forests, towering wax palms and majestic snow-capped mountains.

What to expect

We will meet in front of the church in Salento's main square. If this is your first time birding we will give you a short introduction to birdwatching and some tips for using binoculars.

We will walk out of Salento into the countryside looking for different species of birds. Your guide will help you to spot and identify different kinds of woodpeckers, hummingbirds and tanagers among others. We will take the same route back along the Camino Nacional and finish the tour in town with a coffee (or your drink of choice!) and a review of what we saw during the experience.
