Colombia: Bosque Colibrí Natural Reserve

About the local hosting organization

We are a community-based tourism organization near Parque Nacional Natural Los Farallones de Cali that promotes respectful interaction with nature, protects ecosystems, and honors local and ancestral communities. Our work helps conserve an important forest area and its water sources, which are home to more than 100 bird species and over 50 species of mammals such as monkeys and sloths. We focus on building environmental awareness through activities like meditation, agroecology, and focus groups with women. Our mission is to safeguard the natural ecosystem while supporting local livelihoods and fostering a deeper connection between people and the forest.
