Colombia’s Atlantic Coast and Santa Marta Mountains

Colombia is home to over 1,900 species of birds, more than any other country in the world. It features one of the most rugged and beautiful landscapes found on earth, and it is home to a culture that is thousands of years old. In short, it is one of the premier photography destinations.

More than just a birding tour of Colombia’s Northeast Coastal Region, this tour will include photography opportunities of tropical flora, landscapes, Indigenous culture, and mountain vistas. You will return from this tour with a body of photographic work that represents not just a huge selection of birds, but images that give context to the incredible places you will be visiting and photographing.

From the iconic sunrise views in El Dorado of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, to the Wayúu community of Dibulla and the sunset views of the distant Caribbean from the foothills near Minca, your photographic record will encompass a collection of work that depicts one of the most diverse and beautiful birding locations on earth.
