Traveler reviews
Great experience
The birding path at Monserrate is a great experience- saw 9 hummingbird species (including a sword-billed) with a knowledgable guide, Diego. Keep a little flexibility on timing in mind- the path might be open later than anticipated.
I was picked up by a nice...
I was picked up by a nice Colombian woman at the hotel. Then we took a taxi to Monserrate Mountain (no private vehicle is provided). The birdwatching trail is about 300m long and you can see many species of hummingbirds drinking nectar from the designated feeding stations. When I finished birdwatching, I was able to visit the church. This was very good, so you don't have to take the cable car up the mountain again. We walked back to the hotel, which was fine since it was only about a 10-minute walk downhill.
Great birding tour!
This was a great tour. Diego was a fantastic guide, and was key in us spotting two dozen different species of birds. He explained how the Andes geography created unique ecosystems and which species were endemic to the area. This is a wonderful way to spend a quiet few hours above the busy city. Highly recommend taking this tour!
Amazing birding tour!
Diego was fantastic! He knows so much about birds, but also the other plants and animals of Monserrate! It was a fantastic birding walk and we saw over 26 species of birds. I highly recommend this tour! Amazing birds, amazing scenery, and an amazing guide!
Magical Hummingbird Walk
We had a lovely bird watching experience with our excellent guide, Diego! We chose a later time and it was a rainy morning, so we were a bit concerned about how many birds would be out, but during the walk, the rain stopped and we were able to see 21 different species with the help of Diego. We saw mostly hummingbirds, which is what we hoped for, and it was magical. Would highly recommend!
