Travel by air-conditioned coach on a 40-minute ride to the island of Baru. Sit back and enjoy the scenery and view the growing industrial area around Cartagena. You're headed to the National Aviary – one of the finest aviaries in the world, renowned for housing a large number of species. Colombia boasts the world's greatest bird diversity, with more than 1,900 species, and the National Aviary reflects this with an important cross-section of this variety. Set out to explore the different bird observation stations arranged by habitat and species:
• The Tropical Forest: macaws, Harpy eagles, tangaras and other species as well as different kinds of palms and waterfalls
• Coastlines and Mangroves: the habitat of different kind of ducks, cormorants and pelicans
• Coastline: herons, doves, storks and the migrating teals
• The Desert Station: an environment where cardinals, mockingbirds and partridges live
• The Andean Region: owls, eagles and the famous Andean condor – king of the mountains
Surrounded by birds, beautiful landscapes, palm trees and waterfalls, you will have time to enjoy a beverage or delicious Colombian coffee before the ride back to Cartagena.
Please note: Travel time to the National Aviary is 45 minutes each way.
