Icaro Birding

Icaro Birding is a Colombian-led birding tour operator that runs trips in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The company's catalog is built around named group tours — Epic Andes, Amazon & Llanos, Magdalena Valley of Magic, Santa Marta Endemics, Bogotá & Coffee Area and the Wild Manu Road tour in Peru — supplemented by fully customized private itineraries. Group sizes are deliberately small (the published Santa Marta tour caps at six participants) and trips are guided by an in-house team that includes Breiner Tarazona, who leads the Santa Marta endemics circuit. Tours emphasize a mix of endemics, photography-friendly lodges and habitat coverage from coastal dry forest up through cloud forest and páramo. Icaro is a useful option for birders who want a single ground operator that can chain Colombia trips together with Manu Road or Ecuador add-ons rather than booking separate companies in each country.
