Who?

Anyone who wants to experience world-class birding—whether you're just getting started or a seasoned photographer chasing your next lifer. Perfect for anyone looking to make the most of their time in the field—especially those with limited vacation days. We've designed our itineraries to start and end over a weekend, so you can fly in, photograph incredible species like the Multicolored Tanager and Andean Cock-of-the-rock, and be back to work without missing a full week. With small, intimate groups, we create a relaxed, family-like experience that feels just as rewarding as the images you'll take home. Our guided tours also make for a great bird watching present for the bird nerd in your life!

What?

Beautiful Nature

Colombia is the ultimate destination for bird spotting and wildlife photographers—home to nearly 2,000 bird species, more than any other country on Earth, including over 80 endemics you won’t find anywhere else. From jewel-toned tanagers and hummingbirds to rare antpittas and toucans, the diversity here is staggering. But it’s not just about how many birds you can see—it’s about how you see them. That’s why we’ve carefully designed our Colombia bird watching photography tours to thoroughly explore each birding hotspot, instead of rushing through multiple regions. Rather than changing locations every night, we slow down and stay longer in key areas, giving you more time in the field for target species and greater chances to capture truly exceptional images. Whether you're chasing lifers in the Western Andes or focusing your lens on the iconic Toucan Barbet, Yellow-eared Parrot, or Crescent-faced Antpitta, this is bird photography at its best—in the most bird-rich country on the planet.

Our 
Story

Hey there! We’re Kirt and Jen—full-time travelers, wildlife photographers, and your next birding tour hosts with a passion for capturing wild places and the incredible birds that call them home. Our journey began on the open road, traveling full-time with our two young kids and building out a custom DIY RV. As we often found ourselves immersed in nature, our love for birds and nature photography took flight—transforming into a full-time passion and profession.

Get to Know Us

Along the way, we honed our skills doing freelance photo and video work for private brands, Amazon content campaigns, event coverage, and professional YouTube channels with millions of subscribers- always learning by surrounding ourselves with top talent and going all-in on everything we do.

Today, we're thrilled to lead carefully crafted, small-group birdwatching trips in Colombia, focusing on biodiversity hotspots across the Western Andes, the Central Andes, and Colombia’s iconic Coffee Region. Our routes include world-renowned birding destinations like Manizales, KM 18, the Magdalena Valley, the Santa Marta Mountains, and the Eastern Andes. Whether we're exploring Rio Blanco Reserve, the misty páramos of Los Nevados, or cloud forests near Termales del Ruiz, our tours are crafted for birders, photographers, and nature lovers who want to capture iconic species like the Multicolored Tanager, Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Toucan Barbet, and hundreds more—all in their natural habitats.
