Birding stories
Intimate birding experiences in Colombia where every sighting reveals a story worth telling
More than bird watching
Colombia is home to over 1,950 bird species, more than any other country on Earth. But a number alone has never made anyone stop and listen.
I design personalized birding experiences for small groups, at a pace that lets the landscape tell its own story. Not just the birds, but the ecosystems they belong to, the people who protect them, and the quiet rhythms of a morning in the Andes.
This is what I call birding with intention.
What does "Alboreo" mean?
From Spanish, literally “the song of birds at dawn”.
For me, it’s more than a word, it’s the moment when bird stories begin. That magical hour when darkness yields to light, when the first calls pierce the silence, when birds reveal who they are through song and behavior.
Alboreo is why I wake before sunrise.
It’s the moment when I witness nature’s daily origin stories.
That’s when the best sightings happen. That’s when birds are most active, most vocal. And that’s when, if you’re patient, quiet, and observant, you get to be part of their world for a few privileged hours.
Every tour begins at alboreo, because that’s when the stories unfold.
The Alboreo difference
Ecological depth
Small groups, always
Ethics before everything
Birds come first. That means appropriate distances, minimal playback, and no pressure to perform for a camera. The best sightings happen when species are undisturbed. I’ve learned to wait for those.
