WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR IN LOS LLANOS COLOMBIA

​

The Eastern Plains, locally known as "Los Llanos", is a big area of the country's surface at the East of the Andean mountains and mostly covered by savanna, gallery forest, cattle ranches and plantations. It is an amazingly biodiverse area that shelters several species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and more animal groups.

It is probably the best place in the country to watch and photograph mammals, big and colorful birds and a huge variety of wildlife

In a one day safari expedition is possible to have encounters with several wildlife species such as Spectacled Caiman, Giant Anteater,  Southern Tamandua, Green Anaconda, Orinoco Crocodile, many Capibaras, White-tailed deer and even Pumas and Jaguars.

In terms of birds the area is impressive with great opportunities to photograph a great diversity such as Jabiru, Scarlet Ibis, Savanna Hawk, King Vulture, Wire-tailed Manakin, Burrowing owl, Great horned owl, Hoatzin, Rufous-and-green Kingfisher, Sunbittern, Red capped Cardinal, Pale-headed Jacamar and many more
