–AT THE HILLS OF THE TALLEST COASTAL MOUNTAIN OF THE WORLD-
– NORTHERN COLOMBIA BIRDING TOUR –
– THE SOUTH AMERICAN CARIBBEAN + SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA –
Overview
During this journey, you will have the opportunity to visit the amazing Via Parque Salamanca where the Caribbean meets the Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta. With extensive sandy beaches, coastal lagoons and marshes, this rich ecosystem is home to dozen of species of seabirds, plovers and other sea-related bird species, including migratory and resident. You will also have the unique opportunity to meet the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the center of the universe as the descendants of Tayronas believe. La Sierra Nevada evolved isolated from the Andes generating extraordinary scenarios of endemism and rarity. From snowed-capped mountains to the Caribbean Sea, this particular mountain embraces different habitats and ecosystems from humid and dry forests to mountain forests and paramos, the high altitude grasslands. This mountain is also home of Kogis, Wiwas and Arsarios communities that survived the Spanish conquer with strong ties to mother nature.
