Overview

This is the easiest way to meet Andean hummingbirds up close. Up to 15 species can visit the feeders, including the Sword-billed Hummingbird, the only bird with a bill longer than its body. There is no hiking and no long transfers: a private vehicle takes your group from Bogotá and back by about 1:00 PM, with a snack box on the way.

The route is designed by a biologist and led by a professional Faunaris guide, who helps you identify what you see. Groups are limited to 8 guests. It suits first-time birdwatchers, photographers and birders with binoculars. No species is guaranteed.

    You spend three relaxed hours at managed hummingbird feeders set in Andean forest, watching and photographing hummingbirds at close range. The site opens at 9:00 AM; visits are limited to 3 hours.

    Between 13 and 15 hummingbird species can visit. Seven are the highlights: Sword-billed Hummingbird (the only bird with a bill longer than its body), Great Sapphirewing, Coppery-bellied Puffleg, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, Black-tailed Trainbearer, Green-tailed Trainbearer and White-bellied Woodstar. Birds from other families may also appear. Sightings depend on the day, season and weather; none is guaranteed.
