Paradise
Birdwatching is a wonderful activity and our family decided to share this magnificent experience with many other people. After many moons of intense work in preparing the property´s infrastructure, we have created San Felipe Birding NR. We want to be the preferred location for foreign and national birdawatchers and photographers. Relax in nature, enjoy birdwatching and connect with this natural sanctuary with an open heart.
Our trails allow you to visit four (4) sighting places where you can be in contact with nature comfortably.
Our guides are ready to accompany you during your trail to maximize your experience.
Finally, in our store you will be able to find a variety of articles and handicrafts from the region and Colombia, which you can purchase, to take a souvenir of your visit to our wonderful reserve.
Our Story
Recognizing the biodiversity and exotic beauty of the property, we acquired the San Felipe in 1989. During many years, we enjoyed vacations and family gatherings here. Every afternoon we would sit around the fire and appreciate the activities of the day. San Felipe is our home in paradise and we love and care for it.
