Perija Birding Tour
The Serranía del Perijá, nestled in the northern most reaches of the Colombian Andes, is a stunning mountainous region that straddles the border with Venezuela. This biodiversity hotspot is home to an astonishing array of approximately 450 bird species, with opportunities to spot at least 180 of them on any given excursion.
The region’s high degree of endemism makes it a birder’s paradise, boasting unique species found nowhere else on Earth, such as the vibran Painted Parakeet.
