This trip will take you in the Colombian Massif (from the Spanish Macizo Colombiano), the southern Andean foothills and the fringes of the Amazon. Diversity will be impressive as we explore the high temperate forest at 2500 masl to lowland Amazonian varzea forest at 400 masl. The area also have been home of ancient cultures whose legacy survives to this day. Most of this region´s best habitats ad been off-limits for decades, nowadays winds of peace are blowing in remote places like Southern Colombia, the situation in terms of security has improved significantly, and the area is ready to be rediscovered by birdwatchers and nature lovers. We will showcase the area’s art, history, and architecture, which will deepen your understanding of Ancient Colombian history.
