Amazing tour! Great guides, beautiful scenery, incredible experience at a coffee and cacao farm with the kindest locals to show us around. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing hike through an ecosystem that is only in few parts of the world. It was well worth the hike up to see the phenomenal views of the páramo. Camilo was also a helpful and patient guide with a lot of knowledge about the ecosystem and nature of the place. I could not have made this hike on my own. Highly recommended. Some advice: Bring good hiking shoes, sunscreen, and lots of water. The weather can change at any moment, so also be prepared for the possibility of rain.

This tour was a lot of fun!! What made it stand it out from the other tours was the hands-on nature of the tour. Instead of simply watching other people perform various stages of the coffee production, you actually got to collect coffee beans, remove the shells, grind the beans, winnow them, and roast them. You got to experience what being on a coffee farm was like. Also, the tour guide was helpful and the farmers were friendly and hospitable. If you visit Bogotá, I would highly recommend this tour.

It is beautiful up there. The only sound is the wind and the birds. It is a hike for somebody with good fitness though.

This is a nice trip. We saw 9 different hummingbirds. two violetear, black and green trainbearer. glowing and coppery bellied pufflegs, Sword billed hummingbird and Great sapphirewing. The great sapphirewing is a large hummer and you see the sapphire as its wings open. The smaller the bird the faster the wings. It is an easy trip. The road is a bit rough in the last few km and the traffic on the way out of bogota cannot be avoided. The guide was nice and told us alot about andes ecosystems etc. If you just sit quiet at the observatory the birds come.

I can't say enough about our driver Hector and guide Jose. Their knowledge, kindness and humor were wonderful.

We loved this tour - it was a great experience being up in the clouds and we saw a lot of cool birds! There was a place at the front to stop and grab breakfast and then after the hike we had lunch before driving back to Bogota.

Being able to visit this waterfall was an amazing experience. It was such a beautiful thing to see, and the walk there, although a little tough at times, was very enjoyable. Our guide Juan was excellent and made sure we were well informed and enjoying ourselves.

I must admit that there was a lot of driving involved for this trip, because the coffee and chocolate farms are outside of the city. The roads are also a bit rough in places as you are going over a mountatin. That said, I really enjoyed the trip and my guide Juan was excellent. He was very enthusiastic and well-informed, and made sure I was happy with my experience. Visiting the coffee and chocolate farms was so interesting! I loved learning about the process of growing and producing coffee beans and chocolate.

Despite a huge traffic jam on the way to Chicaque, time ran quickly as the tour guide was very knowlegeable and entertaining. During the birding walk we saw a lot of forest birds. Even though it was sunday and therefore busy in the park. At the restaurant there are hummigbird feeders were this little juwels are easy to see and to record. Normaly the ride from downtown to Chicaque should not take more then 1,5 hrs. On my date it was the beginning of vacation time which caused the traffic jam. I will book another tour with Andes Eco Tours once I am back to Bogotá

I went to Columbia knowing it has nearly 20 percent of the world’s total bird population, but I had no great plan for bird watching. The trip to the Hummingbird Observatory was an excellent way to see many species of birds. Camilo and Hector were outstanding guides, and we saw 11 hummingbird species, and 26 total bird species. The observatory is very accessible, and most of the time is spent viewing birds, which are abundant at the site.

I would highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Bogotá. I wanted to visit some of Columbia’s non-urban environments, and I learned about the páramo early in my trip and wanted to see the endemic plants. We were not disappointed! Juan Camilo was an excellent guide, and he taught us about the flora, fauna, as well as the special cultural and spiritual relevance of the páramo. Gustavo was an excellent driver, and we enjoyed meeting our local host. We are so glad we took this tour as it was throughly engaging from beginning to end, and we developed a deeper appreciation of this unique and fascinating biome.

Accommodating logistics and wonderful guides. This is a tricky area for birding (tons of species and little visibility), so if you are an avid/pro-birder, I'd definitely recommend looking for a bird-specific company. But as a leisure birder myself, for a very reasonable price, I had a blast birding in the forest with Hector. He is friendly, patient, and has an immense love for birds. I'd go back to Andes EcoTours in a heartbeat!

My son and I had a wonderful day tour of Chingaza with Lluis and Hector. Lluis was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and the park is gorgeous. I highly recommend Andes Ecotours!

It was my first time in a Latin-American forest and it was an incredibly beautiful experience. Hector picked us up at the hotels and was very kind. In the forest he really followed our tempo (I was very slow, as I was very interested by the moss… and there were many!). Yes, I can absolutely recommend it! :)
