    Birding in Bogota

    My friends and I recently went on a birding trip with Bogota Birding. The entire experience was fantastic! Camilo, our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable, and he did so many little things to make our trip special. We saw all of the target species that we wanted to see and then some! The travel was safe, the food was delicious, all of the places we stopped were unique and interesting. I can't recommend Bogota Birding (and our guide, Camilo) enough!

    Response from the operator: Dear friend! I hope you are very well. I´m happy for you beautiful words about our last birding trip with you. Hope see you in the future for more birding trips in Colombia. Please, keep the contact. Best wishes Daira Ximena Bogota Birding

    An Amazing 4 days of Birding!

    We just returned from a truly fantastic birding experience with Bogota Birding. We went out for 3 days with Cristian Mur and 1 day with Miguel Angel. Mario from Explore and Travel was our driver all 4 days. Our guides were terrific, knowledgeable, and experienced birders and biologists who were able to give us a great deal of information on not just the birds, but the habitats and geography of the area. Cristian was also a history buff and knowledgable about the culture of the indigenous people who lived on the lands we visited as well. Because we went out 4 days, we were able to visit La Florida wetland, Laguna Tabacal, Jardin encantado, Guasca, Guauabetal- Monterrendondo, and the hummingbird house in La Calera as well as Chicaque. We saw over 150 species of birds during that time. We also got to know our guides and driver really well, and honestly on the last evening, it was difficult to say good bye as they had become like family. We very much look forward to visiting Colombia again and will definitely look to work with Bogota Birding. Out of 5 stars, I would rate these folks 10 stars!

    Response from the operator: Hi Jess, George, Andre and Teddy, Thanks so much for this message. I should like to thank to you for his kind, encouraging words about our service We are deeply grateful for the sympathy and lovely that you share with us You are the great family and We'll hope to see you again for more birding, culture and nature around Colombia!!!! The best wishes. Daira & Oswaldo

    Birding out of Bogota Colombia

    We had a great trip with Oswaldo. He is energetic and enthusiastic and just a terrific person out in the field. He was very careful to make sure we saw all the birds. He had a lot of contacts so we were able to see a great deal.

    Response from the operator: Hi Carolyn, Thanks very much for your opinion. For us is very important. We will wait to see you in the future! Daira & Oswaldo

    Day trip to Chicaque Nature Reserve

    Oswaldo Cortes picked me up at my airport hotel at 5:00am for a great day of birding at Chicaque Park. Oswaldo is a very good birder -- very knowledgeable about the birds and where to find them. We covered a lot of ground and saw some very elusive birds. The day unfortunately proved to be cloudy on the west side of the park, but Oswaldo had a Plan B and we ended up birding a great wetland closer to the city. Oswaldo's resourceful, his English is great, and we had a super day. Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Dear Ted. Thanks so much for your feedback, it is very important for us all your thoughts. We will wait for your in the future for a long birding tour in Colombia! Best wishes. Daira & Oswaldo

    Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.

    How much does Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve cost?

    +

    Prices start at $670 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.

    Is Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bogotá?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bogotá?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bogotá?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; and All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 48 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Birding & Nature to Chicaque Cloud Forest Nature Reserve if the weather is bad?
