What you can expect

Discover an exceptional birdwatching experience at Fundación Loros, a 1,000-acre tropical dry forest reserve just an hour from Cartagena. Recognized as one of the top birding spots in the region and highly ranked on the eBird app, it’s a sanctuary for over 200 bird species.

Begin your day with a traditional breakfast by the lake, followed by an educational talk from biologists about the rehabilitation and release of parrots and macaws. Participate preparing food for these majestic birds, fostering a meaningful connection with them.

Explore the reserve’s trails and encounter iconic birds like Amazon parrots, Scarlet Macaws, Turquoise-winged Parrotlets, and Keel-billed Toucans. Rare species such as the Gray-capped Cuckoo and Gray-cheeked Nunlet make this a truly special destination. Along the way, spot monkeys like Cotton-top Tamarins monkeys, Howlers, and Capuchins, completing this immersive journey into biodiversity and conservation.

Important: Please remember that it is not permitted to feed the animals directly, or touch them. All activities take place under the supervision of our trained foundation staff, as this is a rehabilitation center, not a zoo.
