Connecting Hearts to Colombia's Avian Wonders
We're more than a birding company—we're conservation partners, cultural bridges, and guardians of Colombia's extraordinary biodiversity. Every journey creates lasting impact for birds, communities, and the travelers who join our mission.
Our Story
Born from passion, driven by purpose
AVES was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: that experiencing Colombia's incredible bird diversity can transform both travelers and the landscapes they visit. What started as a passion project has evolved into a conservation-focused enterprise that bridges the gap between world-class birding experiences and meaningful environmental impact.
Colombia is home to over 1,900 bird species—more than any other country on Earth. Yet many of these species face unprecedented threats from habitat loss, climate change, and human encroachment. We believe that sustainable birding tourism can be a powerful force for conservation, creating economic incentives for habitat protection while fostering deep connections between people and nature.
Our approach is holistic: we work directly with local communities, employ indigenous and local guides, support conservation research, and ensure that every tour contributes to long-term habitat protection. We're not just showing you birds—we're inviting you to become part of their conservation story.
