Wonderful Colombians every where you go, informative and educational trip and very good food....
By Sue F for Life List in Colombia: The Coffee Triangle & The Colombia Birdfair on 07 Mar, 2023
This was an exciting trip with hundreds of birds species seen, beautiful vistas, yummy food and a fun and knowledgeable small group of people. Our local guides were top notch, experts in bird guiding and super friendly and fun to boot. Accommodations ranged from average to fantastic as did the food. We had quite a bit of local food which was really good. The tour of the coffee farm was thorough and super interesting, covering everything from growing to harvesting and processing. I'd highly recommend this trip ... no matter where you are in your birding journey.

Great guides, good equipment, excellent results. I took my first pelagic trip on an outing organized by Hillstar out of Ocean City, MD. Zach, Mikey and Matt did a great job of telling us what to expect and putting us on the birds we encountered. Captain Monte navigated through some choppy water to get us out among the birds and dolphins. I recommend this operation and plan to do it again.

It's hard to imagine how this trip could have gone better! George and Mollee we great, fun and knowledgeable and our Colombian guides were even more fun and knowledgeable!! The accommodations were great as was the food. The van we did most of our touring with was large and had plenty of room for legs and bags and our driver was great. And of course, the bird sightings were fantastic. I saw 315 species and I think the group total was somewhere around 375!
I can't recommend this tour and this group highly enough!
