November 5th to 19th 2022

This trip was organised by Wildlife worldwide. The trip was titled Colombia's Birding Highlights. Our route took us from the three Andean ridges to Jardin and onto Santa Marta near the coast in the north.

There were seven of us in the group. The weather was fine with some rain mostly in the cloud forest at times. Our route meant that we were at altitude for most of the time.

These pages show some of the wildlife seen on the trip but for a general view of the trip please link to these pages:-
