Birds & Coffee: Colombia, the Land of Birds and the Best Coffee
Welcome to a journey where birds and coffee come together in the heart of the Andes.
This is not just a birding tour—it’s a celebration of Colombia’s most iconic treasures: its stunning birdlife, world-class coffee, and vibrant culture. A tailor-made experience designed for amateur bird photographers who seek more than just sightings. Here, every detail is crafted to delight your senses.
You’ll explore misty forests filled with hummingbirds and tanagers, wander traditional coffee farms to learn the secrets behind every cup, and photograph high-altitude endemics in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.
Birds that Amaze
From the Gray-breated mountain-toucan and the Shinning Sunbeam in the páramo, to colorful tanagers and antpittas in the cloud forests—this route is full of iconic species that make the Central Andes a dream for photographers.
Coffee that Inspires
You’ll visit a traditional hacienda and follow the coffee journey from bean to brew. Learn how Colombia’s most famous product is grown, harvested, and roasted. Later, step into a specialty coffee shop with over 70 varieties, and take part in an interactive tasting and brewing session.
And just when the sun begins to set, enjoy “Un Manizaleño”, an emblematic coffee drink, while watching the light fade from a panoramic viewpoint in the city of Manizales.
Landscapes that Breathe Magic
You’ll travel through lush valleys, cloud forests, and the high páramo ecosystem above 3,500 meters. In Los Nevados National Natural Park, you’ll photograph rare hummingbirds like the endemic Buffy Helmetcrest, and later soak in natural thermal waters overlooking the mountains.
Sleep in ecolodges that blend perfectly with nature and offer unforgettable views, comfort, and local hospitality.
Culture that Lives
Along the way, explore Filandia—one of the most charming towns of the Coffee Cultural Landscape, with its colorful balconies, artisan shops, and warm people. Recognized by UNESCO, this region is a living example of how biodiversity and human tradition coexist in harmony.
