Small-group bird photography tours, one region at a time.
Keeping Nature Tours runs small-group bird photography tours in Colombia, home to 1,984 recorded bird species (Colombian Ornithological Records Committee, 2026). Tours run on demand, 5 to 10 days, in one natural region or to your plan.
Staying in one region (Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoquía or Amazon) leaves time to wait for light and behavior. Our team of nature photographers and biologists coaches exposure, focus and composition, with local bird guides at every site. The birds and each site’s rules always come first. Made for photographers who want a few strong images and real understanding.
Colombia has 1,984 recorded bird species, and each region brings different birds, habitats and light for photographers and nature lovers.
From dense rainforests to open landscapes, this is a place where observation, patience, and light come together to create truly meaningful images.

The Keeping Nature Tours team. Nature photographers and biologists from our team lead each tour, with local bird guides who know every site.
We photograph birds on their terms. Our groups use only the feeders and hides each reserve already runs, keep the distance the local guide sets, and avoid playback with threatened species and during the breeding season. Following each site’s rules is part of every tour, and it is how the best images happen: with birds that stay relaxed and natural.
We design photography experiences for those who seek more than images.
Each journey combines nature, field knowledge, and photography to help you slow down, observe, and connect deeply with the natural world. From rare species to remote ecosystems, every experience is carefully crafted to be both meaningful and unforgettable.
Guided by expert photographers and naturalists, you’ll not only improve your skills, you’ll learn to understand behavior, light, and environment in real conditions.
Are you ready to experience nature differently?
Colombia has birds to photograph all year, and Keeping Nature Tours runs every birding tour on demand. The Andes are drier roughly from December to March and July to August, though rain can fall in any month. The Casanare Llanos are driest roughly from December to March. Boreal migrants, such as the Blackburnian warbler, are present from September to April.
Keeping Nature Tours quotes each birding tour on request, because the price depends on your dates, group size and route. The quote includes lodging, all meals, transport during the tour, guiding, photography coaching and a medical assistance card. Travel to the starting city, alcoholic drinks and tips are extra. Write to us with your dates and group size.
On the Andean tours you can look for birds found only in Colombia, such as the multicolored tanager and the Tolima blossomcrown on Birds of the Colombian Andes, the Cauca guan on the Valle del Cauca tour and the brown-banded antpitta on the Manizales tour. Sightings depend on each day in the field and are never guaranteed.
These are photography tours, and birders are welcome. Keeping Nature Tours stays in one region and spends time with fewer birds: waiting at feeders, wetlands and forest trails for good light and natural behavior, with coaching on exposure, focus and composition. If your goal is a long species list, a multi-region birding tour may suit you better.
Yes. Keeping Nature Tours designs private and custom birding tours by region, on your dates, lasting 5 to 10 days. Ask for the Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoquía or Amazon region. Your guides are our team of nature photographers and biologists, with local bird guides at each site. Write to us with your dates, group size and target birds.
It depends on the region and route. Keeping Nature Tours rates each tour from physical level 1 to 4, so you can choose the walking and terrain that suit you. Tell us how fit you are and we will suggest a route that fits. Each level is explained in our physical levels guide.
