Day 3 Morning — Final Birding in Serranía del Perijá

On our final morning in the Serranía del Perijá, we revisit the habitats that have been most productive before leaving the reserve. The flexible session offers another opportunity to look for Perijá endemics and other high-elevation targets such as Phelps’s Brush-Finch, Slaty Brush-Finch, Rufous-shafted Woodstar, Golden-headed Quetzal, Venezuelan Tyrannulet, and Rufous-headed Tanager.

Day 2 Morning — Birding the Perijá Highlands

We leave before sunrise to explore the upper slopes of the Serranía del Perijá, moving through Andean forest toward páramo. The reserve’s key targets include Perijá Metaltail, Perijá Thistletail, Perijá Antpitta, Perijá Brush-Finch, Perijá Tapaculo, and Perijá Starfrontlet, alongside other species that depend on conditions and bird activity.

Day 1 Afternoon — Feeders & Forest Edge Birding (Serranía del Perijá)

After arriving at Chamicero del Perijá, we spend the afternoon exploring the surrounding forest edge and feeders. This first session introduces the reserve’s montane birdlife across the Perijá foothills and Andean forest, with opportunities to look for hummingbirds, tanagers, flowerpiercers, and the range’s localized endemic species.
