Ecotourism hand in hand with education and research

The National Aviary of Colombia is not only the new tourist alternative for residents and visitors of the Atlantic Coast, but it also seeks to promote knowledge of the diversity of Colombian birds, their sustainable use and responsible management.

It is the perfect place for ecotourism, but also a research center that seeks not only to conserve birds, but to reproduce them. There are currently three breeding programs for threatened or endangered birds: Paujil Piqueazul (Crax Alberti), an endemic species from Colombia; Condor of the Andes (Vultur gryphus), emblematic bird of the country; and the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), the most powerful bird of prey in the world.

The birds that inhabit the Aviary come from, among others, the Regional Autonomous Corporations of the country, who, because of the illegal traffic of wild fauna, have them; others come from the exchange between zoological institutions and many others from their reproduction ‘in situ’.

At National Aviary of Colombia we have 170 species of birds and about 1700 specimens.
