Birds among hills, wetlands and páramos
A capital where nature changes with altitude
Machine translationSee the original
Context
The Sabana de Bogotá, the Cerros Orientales, the urban wetlands and the high Andean forests form a surprising network of habitats around a great capital. On short outings you can see waterbirds, hummingbirds and species typical of the Andean mountains; as you climb toward Chingaza the climate changes, and so does the bird community. The experience invites you to see Bogotá and its region as a living corridor, not only as an urban landscape.
What can you do?
- Watch birds at dawn with a guide
- Visit authorized wetlands and reserves
- Recognize songs, behaviors and habitats
