Just 50 minutes outside of Cartagena on the highway to Barú is the National Aviary of Colombia – a must for birding enthusiasts. Spread over seven hectares, each region of Colombia is represented here and there is an emphasis on education, conservation, reproduction and in some cases, the repopulation of Colombia’s avifauna. All practices here are sustainable and animal welfare is responsibly managed. You will visit each of the six ecosystems represented and will learn about the 1,800 or 135 species of birds that make their home here. Return to Cartagena.
