Value proposition
Jaguarundi Travel is a Colombian nature tourism operator founded in 2010 by René Montero, an ecologist from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and a guide since 2005. We design and operate wildlife and plant watching trips throughout the country: birds, orchids, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, butterflies and intangible cultural heritage. We work with group departures on fixed dates and with tailor-made private trips.
Who it is for. We travel with experienced naturalists: birdwatchers, nature photographers, amateur botanists and academic and research groups from universities. Our typical traveler already knows their subject, brings a list of target species and is looking for a team that is at their level.
What sets us apart:
Our trips are led by scientists and specialists, not generalist guides. We have more than 20 years of guiding in the field. We have operated more than 100 multi-day tours and worked as a local operator for more than 20 international nature tourism companies. We have a voice of our own on the international scene. Our director is a guest speaker at the Global BirdFair in the United Kingdom (2025 and 2026), at the Asian BirdFairs in Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea, and at the Global Wildlife Fair in New Delhi. There he presents Colombia as a safe nature destination and tourism as a tool for conservation.
