About
A watershed reserve 30 minutes from Manizales where a caretaker puts out worms at several prepared forest sites each morning, bringing up to five antpitta species within a few feet of seated visitors. The lodge also has hummingbird feeders used for multi-flash photography, and the site features on most Colombian bird photography tours.
