Birdwatching in Minca

Did you know that Colombia is the country with the greatest bird diversity in the world? Thanks to our privileged geographic location and the variety of ecosystems, our country has become the ideal destination for approximately 20% of the world's bird species to visit and inhabit our territory.

According to the Global Big Day, an event led by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology where birdwatchers from all over the world come together to document sightings over a 24-hour period, Colombia has topped this list for the ninth consecutive year with an astounding total of 1,526 species recorded in just one day.

This impressive achievement highlights the incredible diversity of our country, which is why we are excited to introduce a new birdwatching activity in Minca.

Here is the description:
