Night Monkeys & Frogs photo activity in El dorado Reserve

We continue exploring the cloud forest after dark, searching for the smaller creatures that emerge at night. With the help of our guide, we look for night monkeys, endemic frogs, colourful insects, and sleeping lizards, revealing a different side of the Sierra Nevada’s remarkable biodiversity.

Photo activity of the hummingbird feeders of El Dorado

We ease into our stay with a relaxed afternoon at the hummingbird feeders near the Senekün restaurant. Set high in the Sierra Nevada, this is an excellent place to photograph species such as White-tailed Starfrontlet, Long-tailed Sylph, Crowned Woodnymph, and, with luck, the endemic Santa Marta Blossomcrown. As the afternoon light softens, we remain on the ridge to enjoy sunset, with sweeping views across the Caribbean coast and, on clear evenings, the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada.
