Oswaldo and Hernan were excellent guides and tailored our day trips in the Bogota area to suit our interests and abilities. We are long time birders and have some minor mobility issues as seniors but both men were sensitive to that with their recommendations and support. It was great getting to know them and in fact we found the Columbian people that we came in contact with to be warm and friendly. We visited two private hummingbird reserves owned by lovely Columbian people, were catered to with delicious meals and enjoyed interesting conversations about the birds. Highly recommend this birding group!

I just returned from a fantastic hummingbird trip in Colombia with Bogota Birding under the expert guidance of Oswaldo Cortez, one of the owners of Bogota Birding. The trip was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed by Oswaldo. His friendly demeanor, enthusiastic attitude and impeccable expertise made the journey a pleasurable and total success. I am eagerly looking forward to my next journey in Colombia with Bogota Birding.

Hernan is a great leader for birdwatching in the rainforest and at a hummingbird sanctuary. He is well versed in flora and local history as well which gave a rich perspective of local culture and ecology.. Hernan loves to share birdwatching time with others.

I had just 24 hours in Bogotá and really wanted to squeeze in some birding and see some paramo specialties. Bogotá Birding really delivered! Daira was super helpful and responsive by email and arranged a fantastic day of birding in Chingaza and at the Observatorio de Colibries with Leon Sanchez who was a wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly and professional guide with an encyclopaedic knowledge not only of birds but animals, plant life and ecology in general. His pride in his country and passion for sharing its amazing biodiversity really shone and made it a delight to bird with him. I was impressed by Bogotá Birding from start to finish and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone travelling to Colombia.

Everything about this tour exceeded my expectations. We got great views and photos of many of the endemic birds in this region; it was so exciting!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the beautiful Colombian landscape and gorgeous birds.

Great day in Chingaza! It’s a beautiful National park removed from the hustle and bustle of Bogotà. Birds included the endemic bronze-tailed thornbill and scarlet-bellied mountain tanager.

My friends and I hired Bogotá Birding & Wildlife Tours to guide us from January 15-22 and were very impressed. Oswaldo and Camilo were excellent guides, Daira was extremely helpful and quick to respond for the administrative tasks, and Daniel and John were personable and very skilled drivers. We are a fast-paced, bird-all-the-time, don't-miss-anything group and everyone was able to keep up with us. We had an issue with one of the hotels which Daira quickly resolved. Though not directly affiliated with BB&WT, I also want to mention how fabulous our other hosts and local guides were, especially Nathalia, Martha, and Elvis at Rancho Camaná and Martha and Alan at Finca Los Cactos. Seriously some of the best people I've ever met! We collectively saw 361 species during our tour and I personally got 224 life birds. Highly recommended!

Oswaldo is a terrific guide! Very attentive to my needs, speaks great English and is an amazing birder that went the extra mile for some special birds for me. I can’t wait to bird with him again!
