Cali Wildlife Adventure

Your Cali experience begins with an immersive city tour, during which you will visit such highlights as the historical neighbourhood of San Antonio, the lovely River Park, and some of Cali’s famous churches, before heading out of town for the first of many wonderful wildlife encounters. The afternoon will be spent at Finca Alejandra, known in Colombia as “the hummingbird paradise”, birding and walking along some of the forest trails around the finca.

Enjoy the panoramic views of Calima Lake before heading just down the road to Yotoco Forest Reserve. This protected area of Pacific Andean forest is a little island of biodiversity outside Cali and is home to several interesting species of birds and mammals. The real highlight is the Red Howler Monkeys, which can almost always be seen hanging out in the trees surrounding the reserve building

Gear up for an awesome adventure today! You will depart bright and early for a day-trip to the Pacific jungle village of San Cipriano. Located within a Natural Reserve surrounded by lush lowland forest, San Cipriano is a real off-the-beaten-track gem and you will explore the best of it. On a walk through the forest, you will look for rare endemic birds, tiny poison arrow frogs, delicate orchids and enjoy the crystalline rivers surrounding San Cipriano.

On the final day of your Cali wildlife adventure you will drive up into the foothills of the Western Andes to La Minga Ecolodge and spend the morning enjoying the incredible birdwatching for which La Minga is famous and stop along the way back to Cali at the jaw-dropping viewpoint of Dagua to enjoy a final panoramic view over the vast Cauca River Valley and the city itself.
