Colombia - Multicoloured Tanager Tour

Naturetrek have wealth of experience organising wildlife holidays overseas. The arrangements for this trip were faultless. I have travelled with Naturetrek many times; this holiday was well up to their usual standards.

It was truly excellent! Everything was well organised and all the logistics and accommodation worked like a dream. The tour organisers and bird guides were all first rate and the tour leader, Andrea Beltran, was a really gifted 'people person' who combined birding ID skills and tour leadership with the ability to infuse the whole group with enthusiasm and a confidence that any challenges would be immediately addressed.

Very recently back from a most enjoyable trip... to Colombia. Everything about the tour ran smoothly, our guide and driver were helpful, polite, presentable and knowledgeable, and the accommodation was fine. A little basic sometimes, but clean, very well located and we always felt safe. We got to see some great birds, and Alejandro was very good at getting everyone on the birds quickly. lastly, we found Colombia a most efficient and pleasant country to visit and - as always with a Naturetrek tour - we felt well looked after. We have made almost twenty trips with Naturetrek - I believe that speaks for itself!!

Exciting!? And so it was! From the snow-capped mountains with wispy volcanic plumes to Finca Lolita - a marvellous abode overlooking Cali. The owners so welcoming. Absolutely loads of birds. Enjoyed the "road trip" feel of this tour.

The group which I was a part of was very good. All made sure we saw all the birds together. The leader was superb. His knowledge was excellent in finding birds.

This, our latest trip with Naturetrek was, I felt, perfectly balanced between trail birding and photographing birds round the various feeding stations. Alejandro was a brilliant leader with a wide range of knowledge who looked after us perfectly.

Alejandro was a first rate leader who was very knowledgeable about the birds, plants and cultural aspects of Colombia. It was wonderful to see the various species of Antpittas so closely and the array of feeders at Alejandria was amazing.

The guide was excellent and his conscientiousness and knowledge were exemplary. Certainly we saw a wide variety of birds which were a delight to behold in their display of stunning colours. Once again, the guide was excellent here in trying to ensure that each member of the party was able to enjoy as many of the birds which we saw, as possible. It was he who made the holiday for me, the success which it was.

E.S. Derbyshire

A very enjoyable tour with superb birds, a good itinerary which worked well with no real problems, good guides, and excellent company in the participants. The group gelled well, very important to making a successful and enjoyable trip. Scenery was fantastic, especially the trip up to Nevado del Ruiz.

Everything went to plan. All was exactly as Andy (Tucker) described it. Colombia is beautiful, friendly, hospitable and untouched by foreign tourists.

J.G. Hampshire

The tour leaders were very helpful and the tanagers were fantastic. I had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday with lots of new birds. I can't think of anything that would improve it.

M.W. Essex

Andrea was an exemplary trip leader. Highly organised and attentive; a very good birder; and with excellent skills in dealing with people. It was a great tour and a good group: everyone keen, engaged and working hard to find stuff.

N.B. Suffolk

Ferney and Andrea were outstanding bird guides and made a fantastic team. No efforts were spared to find birds for us. Well planned tour with good choice of diverse habitats.
