Discover Birdwatching Tours and Wildlife Experiences in Salento, Campania

Summary: We had a tour with Juan and it was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the birds we saw and instantly could recognise them and tell us about the species and their habitat and behaviour. We saw almost 50 different types of birds, unfortunately on that day no toucanets, but he tried his best to find them!

Summary: The tour was incredible. Ivan was an amazing guide who was really knowledgeable, providing lots of interesting information whilst also knowing the best places to spot different varieties of birds. We saw over 30 species from hummingbirds to parrots, flowerpiercers to antpittas. We would heartily recommend this for anyone visiting the area!

Summary: Great guide, personable and well spoken English. We saw a good variety of birds. Went to several locations walking in and around town

Summary: My husband and I booked a last minute tour to go birdwatching our last day in Salento and we had such an incredible time. Our guide Ivan was very friendly, welcoming and so knowledgeable about the region and all the various bird species in Colombia and Salento. We selected this tour because we were looking for something fun to do and really needed an English speaking guide. We learned so much about the birds in the area and saw about 35 different species during our tour. Ivan provided binoculars and had a scope he was quick to set up each time a bird was spotted. We had so much fun scanning the trees and shrubs for birds and trying to quicky focus in on them before they flew away. It was a really really cool experience, and I look forward to bird watching with Ivan again in the future. I highly recommend this tour and guide. Thanks Ivan!

Summary: Our guide was Camilo and we had a perfect morning with him! Camilo is the kindest of souls, with a deep understanding of the area’s birds and many other living things. It was so easy to converse in English with Camilo and our group really enjoyed asking him all sorts of questions. He knew the answer to all questions- he’s a magician! Our group had no experience with bird watching but absolutely loved the whole experience. What a great way to engage with nature in a patient, thoughtful way. Camilo brought us to this hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot in the middle of the tour for an excellent, authentic Salento meal. Camilo really made our day and time in Salento, and I could not more highly recommend his services!

Summary: We loved this trip. Ivan was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and very good at pointing out the birds to us. We saw approximately 35 different birds and had a wonderful walk round Salento too.

Summary: I had an incredible experience Birdwatching with Ivan from Andean Tours this morning whilst Salento was mostly still in bed. Not only incredible for the 5.6 richter Earthquake that shuck us on the Salento Bridge (?!) but for the 53 different species of birds we managed to see thanks to Ivan’s wonderful expertise. Highlights ranged from the colourful Toucanet, Rose Breasted Grosbeak and the Andean Motmot to the more muted house wren. Ivan was great company too. Highly recommend this.

Summary: It was a great way to end our trip in Salento! Ivan is very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were able to do the tour for 3 hours since we had a flight to catch later. The highlight was seeing a toucanet! Will definitely come back for more birding!

Summary: Ivan was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and saw many different species of birds in a beautiful environment.

Summary: We spent a lovely early morning with Nestor in Reserva Cascada Santa Rita. Nestor not only delivered a very specific bird watching request but also shared with us very interesting information about the palm trees, Salento and other areas of Colombia. Nestor is such an inspirational person with many initiatives to support the community and the endemic environment.
