We know you love birds…
But if you also enjoy everything beautiful that surrounds them — if a mountain landscape takes your breath away, if you’re a coffee lover and find yourself at the source of the world’s best coffee, if you love discovering the authentic flavors of local cuisine, if the sounds of the forest transport you, if you value the wisdom of local cultures or the powerful stories shared by communities, if you’re passionate about flowers and dream of a true paradise — if you’re someone who loves to live the journey fully, then you’re in the right place.
That’s why we’re called Birds Colombia Experience — so you can live meaningful and authentic experiences along the way.
And if it also inspires you to know that your trip supports a project that connects children with conservation…
Welcome to Birds Colombia Experience with Niky & Mauro, your hosts, and friends on this unforgettable journey
And who are Niky & Mauro?
They are a Colombian couple of bird photographers and storytellers who, in 2021, left their office jobs to embark on the first and only Big Year ever done in Colombia. For an entire year, they traveled across all 32 departments of the country, documenting 1,471 bird species; but beyond the numbers, they fully immersed themselves in the culture, landscapes, gastronomy, and local communities. It was the most important journey of their lives, and now they want to share it with you through authentic experiences that connect birds with the land, nature, culture, and community.
How a Birds Colombia Experience is created
At Birds Colombia Experience, every journey is custom-crafted — shaped by your interests, your pace, and the people you travel with.
- You tell us what you love — photography, hummingbirds, culture, coffee, remote landscapes… whatever inspires you.
- We invite you to discover Colombia by region — five diverse landscapes, each with its own birds, ecosystems, communities, and experiences.
- Together, we design your adventure — selecting the best tours, local guides, cultural encounters, and hidden gems based on your preferences.
The result? An authentic, intuitive journey designed entirely around you — never a one-size-fits-all itinerary, but a trip you’ll carry in your heart forever.

It’s a true paradise for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking wonder in the wild.
We created Birds Colombia Experience to offer you more than just a trip:

When you travel with us, you’re not just living an unforgettable experience—

A portion of every tour directly supports Guardián de las Aves, the project we created to connect children with nature through birds.
So far, we’ve reached 1,290 children across all 32 departments of Colombia, and we’ve donated 70 birdwatching kits, including binoculars, a bird guide, a backpack, and birding clothing.
Together, we’re planting seeds for a generation that protects what it loves.
Summer BirdCamp Colombia for Kids
This is how we lived the very first Summer BirdCamp for kids in Colombia!
In June 2025, we made history with the first-ever birdwatching summer camp for children in Colombia—an unforgettable experience created by Birds Colombia Experience with Niky & Mauro.
For six incredible days, we explored the stunning landscapes of La Guajira with a group of kids and teens from across the country.
We went birding at sunrise, discovered species in deserts and mangroves, shared unforgettable moments with the Wayuu community, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
This camp was more than just an adventure—
it was a deep connection with nature, culture, and the joy of discovering the world through birds.
Watch the full video and join us on this amazing journey.
And get ready… Summer BirdCamp 2026 Amazonas.
