Colombia Santa Marta Birding

• This green, humid and lush mountain range is isolated from the rest of the Andes by a “sea” of dry forest providing the Santa Marta with the highest bird endemism area in Colombia. More than 25% (20 species) of the Colombian endemics occur here, and there are at least 39 endemic subspecies (some of which might even deserve the rank of a full species).

More Details About this Trip:

• The drier areas surrounding the mountains are also home to a handful number of bird species that are only shared with remote areas of Venezuela, including, 3 more Colombian endemics.
   

 

• Besides these endemics, sub-endemics and regional endemics, the area offers over 800 species. Most trips see 250 to 350 species.

• The wonder of this birding bonanza is matched by the beauty of the sunset of the Caribbean ocean watched from the comfortable balcony of “El Dorado” lodge.
   

• We offer the six day extension with all of our Cauca Valley trips. Any birder can join these extensions, even as a solo trip (for just a little bit more in cost). Longer trips are offered one or two times per year. Please contact us if you are interested in a longer Santa Marta endemics trip.

Pricing:  $2,190 US Dollars or £1,680 GBP for 7 Days and 6 Nights.  Extensions available.
