Colombia: Magdalena & Central Andes
This short tour is focused on finding some truly localised endemics between Bogotá and Medellín, on Andean slopes adjoining the Magdalena Valley. These include both the threatened Fuertes's Parrot and Yellow-eared Parrot, plus the Critically Endangered duo of Blue-billed Curassow and Chestnut-capped Piha. Some of the additional endemics not readily found elsewhere include Tolima Dove, Tolima Blossomcrown, Beautiful Woodpecker, White-mantled Barbet, Sooty Ant-Tanager, and the smart White-bibbed Manakin. Many other standout species can be enjoyed too, like the monotypic Oilbird (we will visit a roost for this special species), the ever-impressive Sword-billed Hummingbird, and a whole bunch of antpittas!
