Jorge is very knowledgeable about Valle Del Corcora and the local birds. He is very kind and made the hike enjoyable and educational. The scenery is beautiful and there are many birds to discover. You are provided with a large bag of food for the day and water which we don’t end up finishing. Given the early start time, you get access to the Valley before anyone else arrives. It was beautiful and memorable. One thing to note that we did not realize up front is that while you do hike, the main focus is birding, so you only cover 4.5 km up and then turn around and go back down. We saw 24 birds during our hike! We recommend downloading the Merlin app beforehand and Jorge will help you keep track of all the birds you saw. Highly recommend this tour!
We did a walking tour in the Cocora Valley this February and had an awesome time with Jorge. The scenery was incredible, and we spotted many great birds, including two pairs of masked trogons and a barred becard – which we were able to identify because of our guide’s patient and “never give up” approach for seeing birds. It felt like there was always something catching our eye. Jorge made the whole experience even better—he knows the birds in this area at an expert level and was great fun to be around. He kept things relaxed while still sharing plenty of interesting details, about birds, the landscape, plants, orchids etc. We also really liked the small touches, like the snacks he brought along. All in all, it was a memorable, enjoyable outing that we’d happily recommend to other people visiting the area.
My brother and I took this trip because we were so satisfied with our first trip with Jorge, the head of Pagareros, to San Rita. Jorge is a great birding guide who excels at spotting and identifying birds. His enthusiasm for birding is infectious and he found many lifers for us. His English is very good. He would happily bird with him again (as we already have!).
The tour was amazing! Jorge was so helpful and knew so much about the Cocora Valley, the birds and the nature. We saw some amazing species and learned so much! We all loved it and had the best day. Thank you Jorge!
We have never done a bird watching tour before and this was a great first experience. Juan Camilo is knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent teacher. We learned so much and loved our experience. Also, we ended our day by seeing the only Andean condor that lives in the valley as we were coming down the mountain. We would strongly recommend this tour!
The round about 7.5 hours tour started with a nice breakfast and an adventurous drive to the valley. We then continued to the trout farm where we could see plenty of birds, e.g. a green kingfisher. Since it was early morning a lot of birds were present and the valley had a lot of Charme. We then went to the viewpoint on the way we saw more birds and our Guide Santiago explained also a lot about the plants and how they are or were used as medicine. The lunch was plenty!
We had a fantastic hike with Santiago through the Cocora Valley. The weather was brilliant and the views were spectacular. For Seven hours we hiked, spotted many birds, among which the Condor and visited the hummingbird sanctuary. Santiago’s knowledge and experience was amazing and made the day one to remember for a long time! Gelmer, Liesbeth & Simon
Santiago was a very passionate guide who shared so many facts and brought great enthusiasm to our tour. I highly recommend taking a tour with Pajareros birding tours
We had the most amazing time hiking the Cocora Valley learning and spotting the most beautiful birds that live in that area. Juan Camilo was an excellent guide. So passionate and knowledgeable about birds! He made sure I could see the especies of tucán that live in Cocora which I never saw before and I was hoping to see. This experience helped us to slow down, pay attention, listen, move slowly, observe.. by the end of an almost 12 hour day we truly felt fulfilled and had the feeling of knowing a place . Highly recommended to nature lovers!
This birding tour is definitely a highlight of my Colombia trip and a lifetime memory. Juan Camilo is an amazing guide—his knowledge of birds and nature is incredible. We ended up with a great hike and saw 66 bird species! A few highlights included a variety of hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and many other local birds. Most of the birds we saw are species found only in Colombia or the Andes, which was eye-opening for someone like me coming from North America. Camilo is also very considerate and sweet. The whole team from the tour agency showed incredible passion for birds—we had a lot of interaction and you could truly tell this wasn’t just business for them, they genuinely love what they do. I did a combined hiking and birding route, and ended up seeing all the highlights of Valle de Cocora—palm trees, waterfalls, and more. I’ve traveled to a few destinations in South America, but I will remember this trip for a lifetime.
