Overview

Colombia is possibly one of the countries with the most bird species on the planet, with approximately 1,950 registered species. Km 18 is declared one of the places in Colombia with the largest number of birds. San Felipe Birding Nature Reserve is located in a strategic area for bird watching. Around 170 species have been detected in the reserve, some of them endemic such as the Colombian Chachalaca. A great variety of hummingbird species and other migratory birds perch in our feeders. From our hides, visitors can photograph and view the birds comfortably.

Why you'll love it

🔹 Indicators of ecosystem health

Birds are among the most sensitive indicators of ecosystem health, and their migratory nature means conservation efforts need to span countries and continents.

🔹 Support local communities

Birding tourism has become one of the most powerful tools for community-led conservation. In many rural areas, a rare endemic species draws visitors from around the world, giving local communities a direct economic incentive to protect the forests and wetlands that the species depend on. Just as with all wildlife viewing experiences, there is etiquette for bird watching. Responsible bird watching should at least include: never getting too close, keeping voices down, never using drones to chase birds, and not shining light directly on them at night.
