Birding Experiences Colombia

Birding Experiences Colombia is a Pereira-based birding and bird-photography operator founded in 2012 and led by Juan Manuel Cardona. The company specializes in multi-day, high-mountain itineraries through the Andes — including Los Nevados, the Western and Central Cordilleras and the Chocó — alongside set tours to Santa Marta, the Eastern Andes and Orinoco and the Amazonas region. Trips typically run 7–11 days and are pitched at international birders and photographers; the company's published trip reports list clientele from the United States, India and Switzerland. Group sizes stay small and itineraries combine standard endemic targets with photography-friendly stops at feeder lodges in the Coffee Region. Juan Manuel handles lead guiding personally for most departures and is well-regarded among visiting birders looking for a Pereira-based ground operator with deep familiarity in the Central Andes.
