Birdwatching
Tracking down the Barranquero
Te amazing ecosystem that surrounds Hacienda Bambusa is home to more than 160 species of endemic birds.
In the first months of the year, we are visited by approximately 40 species of migratory birds that arrive to this region. Hummingbirds, Tanagers, Andean Motmot and Curlews are some of the birds you can find before the sun rises.
During this walk, that takes place very early in the morning, a specialist bird guide will accompany you to tour the hacienda in search of these beautiful birds.
