Travel from Cali into the western Andes with a private bilingual guide, then watch free-flying hummingbirds and fruit-loving tropical birds at a mountain sanctuary. Enjoy coffee in the cool cloud forest, hear about the local ecosystem, and stop at a farm to feed baby goats. Mateo may guide your outing.

“Great place Finca Alejandria garden is famous for attracting MANY species of exotic hummingbirds, tanagers, red headed barbet, bananaquits and more. Photographers paradise! Mateo, My guide was very knowledgeable about the area birds and nature. Unfortunately his car broke down and we had an extended stay (saw more of property but birds significantly less in outskirts) Luckily he was able to get his dad to come and drive me back to my hotel! He says it’s time for a new car!”

“Birdwatching made easy. So many hummingbirds and other species.. easy viewing. Hummingbirds will fly very close or feed by you. Excellent for photography. A few short trails around property. Good to get out of Cali and see countryside.our tour guide Vivi was very informative/helpful on drive to and from the birdwatching venue. Spoke good English and explained Spanish versions of bird names which often sound better than their English version! No biting bugs when we went in January. Logistics good and we stopped for a typical Colombian snack on return and were welcomed with coffee at venueRead more”
