Oswaldo and Hernan were excellent guides and tailored our day trips in the Bogota area to suit our interests and abilities. We are long time birders and have some minor mobility issues as seniors but both men were sensitive to that with their recommendations and support. It was great getting to know them and in fact we found the Columbian people that we came in contact with to be warm and friendly. We visited two private hummingbird reserves owned by lovely Columbian people, were catered to with delicious meals and enjoyed interesting conversations about the birds. Highly recommend this birding group!

I just returned from a fantastic hummingbird trip in Colombia with Bogota Birding under the expert guidance of Oswaldo Cortez, one of the owners of Bogota Birding. The trip was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed by Oswaldo. His friendly demeanor, enthusiastic attitude and impeccable expertise made the journey a pleasurable and total success. I am eagerly looking forward to my next journey in Colombia with Bogota Birding.

Hernan is a great leader for birdwatching in the rainforest and at a hummingbird sanctuary. He is well versed in flora and local history as well which gave a rich perspective of local culture and ecology.. Hernan loves to share birdwatching time with others.
