Birdwatching activity at Finca La Florida near Acacías, Meta, where you explore gardens and a lake with certified guides from the local Birdwatching Association to spot over 70 bird species plus monkeys. The five-hour outing includes breakfast or dinner depending on your chosen time, and supports community tourism in the eastern plains.

The experience

How many bird species can you actually see in one morning? At Finca La Florida, the answer is more than 70. The guides (Luz Helda, César and Jaison, all certified and listed on eBird) know where to find them: the stink turkey in the wetlands, hummingbirds among the garden flowers, macaws and parrots in the canopy, kingfishers and herons by the lake. You'll also spot monkeys moving through the trees. The activity runs five hours, and you choose whether to come for breakfast or dinner, which means you pick the time that fits your day.

The guides speak Spanish and lead you through the gardens and around the lake at Finca La Florida itself, so there's no long travel once you arrive. Pickup is included, which handles the logistics from wherever you're staying. You're walking and watching in a natural setting, not sitting in a vehicle or watching a demonstration. This is hands-on birdwatching with people who live here and know the birds by sight and call. The money you spend goes directly to the local Birdwatching Association and the community economy, so the activity funds the conservation work that keeps the birds there.

What’s included

• Certified guide in Spanish.
• breakfast or dinner depending on your chosen time.
