Bird-Watching in the Palmas de Cera Sanctuary

In this bird-watching activity in the Palmas de Cera Sanctuary, we'll see yellow-eared parrots in one of the most famous birding spots in Colombia.

Description

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Salento or Filandia at the indicated time to head towards Pijao, in the Eje Cafetero of Colombia.

After the trip, we'll arrive at the main square and get into a 4x4 vehicle to start searching for native birds of the Andean Region.

The trail begins through the sanctuary of wax palm trees, the national tree of Colombia. This path leads through the La Palmera trail, where we’ll stop at various observation points to watch birds over the palm trees.

You'll be able to see marail guans, Andean eagles, white-tailed hawks, golden-headed quetzals, toucans or yellow-eared parrots, among other endemic species. After birdwatching, we'll continue to a peasant farm for lunch.

Following lunch, we'll walk back to the 4x4 and drive back to Pijao. We will return to Salento or Filandia, arriving 10 hours after pickup.
