Absolutely fantastic, worth the time and money. The birds are beautiful and the people are doing phenomenal work and could use all the support.
Corina was an amazing tour guide! She was so informative and friendly. The whole experience was very hands-on and interactive. We had a lot of fun, feeding the birds and preparing their food, and learning about the local ecosystem. A great way to spend the day if you’re staying near Cartagena!
Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly meant a lot to guide your visit! It was a joy to share the day with you, walk through the forest, and talk about the work we’re doing here. I’m so glad you connected with the hands-on parts of the experience and took the time to learn about the ecosystem and the animals we care for. Thanks for being part of this mission — I hope our paths cross again someday! Warmly, Corina 🌿
My friends and I decided to head inland away from the beaches and nightlife of Cartagena, and we were all glad we did. The excursion was filled with gorgeous vistas of flourishing jungle on mountainsides and valleys. The forests were so green and lush, in fact, they appeared to be making their own clouds. Along with the trees were a lot of vibrant flowers, fruits and other tropical plants. We also saw a variety of wildlife from a Great Horned Owl, parrots and macaws (both in rehabilitation and in the wild), to tortoises and even howler monkeys from a distance. All of the employees at the place were very friendly and knowledgeable about their conservation efforts, other flora and fauna, and the local ecosystem in general. I learned so much about parrots and macaws, in particular. Very interesting. The guides also educated us on a variety of trees and took us up the mountain to plant one of our choosing. I suppose I'll have to return in another decade to see how well it's thriving (hopefully). The snacks and food provided to us included fresh fruits from the area and other traditional Colombian fare that was all quite tasty. I wouldn't expect to completely fill up on the offerings though, particularly if you exert yourself on the ATVs and other activities around the preserve. The ATVs themselves were a lot of fun to ride. It seemed they only had two four-wheelers for solo riding and two of the side-by-side vehicles that seat 4-6. So just be aware that for groups of 3+, not every person will have their own four-wheeler to ride throughout and may have to switch from time-to-time. Regardless of what you ride, if you go during the wet season, you'll definitely want to bring a shoes/boots, pants, and a long shirt that you can get muddy. In short, the excursion had a wonderful variety of activities that you wouldn't normally experience with a Cartagena trip, and it was an extremely great value. All four in my group would highly recommend, plus proceeds go back to helping with the conversation efforts. It's really win-win!
We're so glad you chose to explore the tropical dry forest with us — and even happier to hear it was a memorable escape from Cartagena’s beaches and nightlife. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the scenery, wildlife, and all the moments in between. Our team puts a lot of heart into creating meaningful nature-based adventures, and your participation — from learning about parrots to planting a tree — contributes directly to our conservation work. We’d love to welcome you back in a few years to see how your tree is growing!
This was a beautiful experience. It includes great food, feeding the birds while getting their history and back story of the preserve, and atving through the preserve and seeing all the beauty of forest. Even got to plant a tree to add to the forest. It gives a purpose to the work. I can't forget. Corina was a beauty. An amazing tour guide and great singer. I had fun in our carpool karaoke lol.
Thank you so much for such a fun and heartfelt message! It was truly a joy to share this experience with you—from the forest ride to tree planting and our carpool karaoke session (you’ve got talent too!). Your presence added so much good energy to the day, and it means a lot that you connected with the purpose behind what we do. Thanks for being part of this journey toward freedom and regeneration. Hope to cross paths again someday!
It was an amazing experience. Paulina, the guide, was very kind. We saw monkeys, macaws, parrots, and the place has breathtaking views. It was truly impressive.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the views, the wildlife, and the company of our team. We’ll be sure to share your words with Paulina—she’ll be happy to hear them. Thanks for being part of this mission to return rescued animals to the wild where they belong.
It exceeded my expectations. The ATVs are very intuitive to drive, and the work they do in that place is incredible. During the experience, you're in close contact with nature, and everyone was very kind. 100% recommended.
We’re so happy the experience went beyond what you expected! Exploring the forest on ATVs and learning about the rehabilitation work is a special way to connect with nature—and we’re glad you felt that. Thank you for your kind words and for being part of a journey that helps rescued wildlife thrive again. Hope to see you back one day!
This was such a beautiful and amazing experience. Our guide and the other men who were with her were all so sweet and helpful. We got to see many different species of birds, a lot of beautiful views, and at the end, we planted a tree. It was a wonderful experience and i would recommend it to anyone!
Thank you so much for your lovely message! We’re truly glad the experience felt meaningful from start to finish. Your kindness, curiosity, and willingness to be part of every step—right up to planting a tree—made it even more special. Thanks for being part of this mission to care for nature and give rescued birds a future in the wild.
I highly recommend this experience. It was truly an amazing time, more than I could have asked for. Thank you for everything! The staff and everyone who attended to us were absolutely wonderful.
Andrea! Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We're so happy the experience exceeded your expectations.

Less than an hour from Cartagena, this adventure is the perfect mix of adrenaline, nature, and purpose! Riding through the tropical dry forest on an ATV was exhilarating, and spotting wildlife, like the adorable Titi monkeys, made it even more special. The parrot rehabilitation project is truly inspiring, and the team’s passion and professionalism shine through. Breakfast by the lake was delicious, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a nature lover, this experience is unforgettable. Wear comfy clothes, bring sunscreen, and get ready for an adventure with impact! 🌿🐒
