Birdwatching At Monserrate Bogotá 4h

This is a Wonderful birding experience with Diego Vela. He was communicative about pickup and knowledgeable about all the birds. We managed to see and identify 10 species of hummingbirds, which I would not have been able to do on my own. On the way there I leaned about the geography of Colombia and where different birds live. I managed to fit all this in before my 4:30 pm flight home . Highly recommended!

The birding path at Monserrate is a great experience- saw 9 hummingbird species (including a sword-billed) with a knowledgable guide, Diego. Keep a little flexibility on timing in mind- the path might be open later than anticipated.

This was a great tour. Diego was a fantastic guide, and was key in us spotting two dozen different species of birds. He explained how the Andes geography created unique ecosystems and which species were endemic to the area. This is a wonderful way to spend a quiet few hours above the busy city. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Diego was fantastic! He knows so much about birds, but also the other plants and animals of Monserrate! It was a fantastic birding walk and we saw over 26 species of birds. I highly recommend this tour! Amazing birds, amazing scenery, and an amazing guide!

We had a lovely bird watching experience with our excellent guide, Diego! We chose a later time and it was a rainy morning, so we were a bit concerned about how many birds would be out, but during the walk, the rain stopped and we were able to see 21 different species with the help of Diego. We saw mostly hummingbirds, which is what we hoped for, and it was magical. Would highly recommend!

A very enjoyable couple of hours birdwatching. Nataly was a great guide - friendly and knowledgeable - which was particularly appreciated as I'm a rookie birdwatcher. I took a load of photos, and she kindly gave me the names for about 13 birds after the event. Be aware that about half the tour time is getting up to Monserrate and back again, but the journey was fun and the views over the city were great.

Geraldo was enthusiastic & knowledgeable about the hummingbirds & easily able to point them out. He was also kind by carrying my day pack, as I am older & have a recent knee injury.

Leslie was an amazing guide for our tour. She adapted her tour to all ages from 8 to 68, as well as for the different levels of bird enthusiasm. She helped us spot many different birds as well as guided us to beautiful view points. The pick up, drop off, and logistics were easy and smooth. Highly recommended as a family activity.

The trip up to Monserrate was great! Diego was incredibly knowledgeable and also incredibly patient with our slow-going group who wanted to look at EVERYTHING, not just birds. We all had a wonderful time and I would 100% recommend this tour. It's beautiful, you'll see a bunch of amazing species, and you'll have a great time with Diego.

Loved this experience! My guide picked me up at my hotel, we drove to the train and took it up the mountain. The guide, Diego, was super knowledgeable about the bird species and helped me find so many gems. We saw pavas, hummingbirds, flower piercers and warblers. I loved my experience and would definitely do it again.

Our guide Kathy was so very nice and helpful. We would recommend her for any sort of tour around Bogota. Her English was excellent but she was not the bird guide. The tour description said there would be a bird guide there. One did show up later but he was leading a large group of non-birders speaking only Spanish. He was not specifically for us as was described by TripAdvisor. My suggestion, eBird the site ahead of time to learn what birds you may encounter so you can identify them yourself. We did see / hear a lot of cool species.

This was a great casual bird watching tour. We mainly chose it as an easy way to have transportation and access to Monserrate, with a nature focus. I'm a bird watcher but my wife isn't, this tour was casual enough for her, and valuable for me, sighting 22 new species. José was a great guide, fun to talk to, and knowledgeable about the region.

Diego was wonderful from the get go. Picked us up and dropped us off 45 mins away. He was very knowledgeable about birds as well as Bogotá and Colombia in general and shared lots of this with us. We are amateur bird watchers and he took this into account helping us with the binoculars etc. the ticket includes queue skip at all the right places so feels like it’s good value for money in the end! The only point to make is we went at 9am so lots of traffic and queues because we didn’t think about being earlier (like most real bird watchers) so would recommend the 5/6/7am tours!

Wonderful experience. Our guide, Diego, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the region and its wildlife. Great communication before the tour, and it was well organized. We saw all the target species I was hoping to see, plus many more. We went on a Thursday morning and the trail was not crowded at all. I definitely recommend this tour to bird lovers!

I learned the next day that there is a birding trail, but we basically stayed among the buildings, walking through the shops in both directions, and seeing most of the birds at the feeders by the restaurant. Nataly was delightful and fun to spend time with, though more hardcore birding would have been better, especially given the very high cost.

I was picked up by a nice Colombian woman at the hotel. Then we took a taxi to Monserrate Mountain (no private vehicle is provided). The birdwatching trail is about 300m long and you can see many species of hummingbirds drinking nectar from the designated feeding stations. When I finished birdwatching, I was able to visit the church. This was very good, so you don't have to take the cable car up the mountain again. We walked back to the hotel, which was fine since it was only about a 10-minute walk downhill.
