Inírida

Flights from Bogotá usually are during the morning, we will be arriving to Inírida close to noon, after lunch we will go out for a bit to the town surroundings, to the banks of the Inirida river, hoping to find a bunch of waterbirds and some nice addings to the list such as Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet, Cobalt-winged Parakeet, Orange-cheeked Parrot, Orange-winged Parrot, Blue-and-yellow, Scarlet, Red-and-green and Chestnut-fronted Macaws.

Situated in the extreme east of Colombia (30km from the border of Venezuela), at the confluence of the Inírida River and Guaviare River. Inírida lies in the Colombian Amazon region and is an amazing place for birding since this area has some of the best types of white-sand and varzea forest ready to be discovered and even with a potentially brand-new Antshrike species and some range-extensions still being discovered. We will be birding on land and water in company of local guides that know perfectly the area and some of the targets there, visiting some indigenous communities that have well marked trails and incredible pristine forest.
