      Amazing views of mischievous hummingbirds
      We loved it! Beautiful atmosphere, we saw 10 species of hummingbirds, Hector was a great driver and a great guide, highly recommended, and it is definitely worth the trip

      Surreal landscape with a passionate guide
      Amazing time in some pretty surreal landscape. The guide (english speaking) was super knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area, and had a authentic passion for birds. So if you area a birdwatcher, that could be a bonus reason to book this tour. Pretty cool out there. Do not forget water proof shoes, you will be upset! It's very muddy in places, I would even recommend higher ankle boots as I sunk a few inches in the mud at one point.

      Book this hike in the Choachí Mountains
      The tour led by Camilo was so fun and informative – possibly one of the most rewarding experiences I had while visiting Bogotá. The landscape is stunning (waterfalls, farmland, and the centuries-old Camino Real), and we got to eat native fruits and leaves, taste some farm-fresh cheese, and dig into the history of the region. Booking the tour was a breeze: Andes Eco Tours is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

      Learn and experience from the small coffee farmers
      The tour was a long day mostly due to the notorious Bogota traffic. Despite the travel we had a wonderful day and the views were amazing. The guide Diego was great in explaining all aspects of coffee. The farmers Elena and Carlos were so sweet and warm, they shared their knowledge and experiences about making coffee so passionately. It was just a delight! The lunch and coffee tasting was delicious. There were so many varieties of birds and flowers it was amazing. Would highly recommend this trip!!

      Incredible Location & Deeply Knowledgeable Guides
      We had the gorgeous cloud forest almost entirely to ourselves, it is a beautiful park (a private park accessible to the public) with lots of birds. My guide was Camilo and Héctor was my driver. My travel partner has twisted his ankle so I went on this trip by myself (solo female) and I felt completely safe. I speak Spanish but I did choose the English guide option and Camilo and I conversed in both languages. Camilo and Hector were both incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, landscape, and local communities in and around Bogota and the cloud forest - they answered all of my million questions. The hike itself was mostly difficult because of the elevation.

      Great trip
      My sister and I took the coffee and chocolate experience as I like Colombian coffee and she likes chocolate so it seemed ideal. Really great tour and special mention to guide and driver (Camilo and Hector). Camilo's English was excellent and we discussed all sorts of topics which eased the drive to the first stop. Hector's driving was safe and no issues navigating the route. There were some previous reviews about road conditions and driving but although in some parts the road inland was bumpy it is what it is when you're going up a mountain. The roads in the UK aren't all perfect either! Communication and booking was easy. Advised to do a specific day due to Colombian holiday weekend. Yes, there was traffic but we knew this and the tour would be a full day so this was no surprise. Vehicle and pick up was on time and no issues. Interesting experience where we helped create the coffee we drank followed by a really nice lunch then on to chocolate with very pretty colours for cacao and numerous tastings along the process. We took water with us so others might want to do the same and to bring any snacks etc you may need for a full day out. There are stops that could be made along the way but ensure you bring what you think you need for yourselves to make your trip easy.

      Family coffee tour
      We did this tour with three kids ages 6, 8 and 17 and it was loved by all. The coffee farm owner and his family were so welcoming to our kids and invited us into their home for a true and unique coffee experience. Even if you think you don’t like coffee you will after this tour. Our guide was so patient with our kids and all of our questions and did a great job explaining everything to us. It was one of the highlights of our trips.

      Unforgettable
      Out of this world experience! Highly recommend doing this tour when in Bogota. Communication and transport were excellent as we only booked it last minute on the night before. It was a private tour to a family run coffee farm and Cocoa farm. Our guide Hector Mora spoke Spanish but with the help of Google translate and lots of patience was still very informative. The language barrier did not hinder any part of the day. The views on the journey are superb. When at the coffee farm, we were greeted by a friendly family who helped us to pick our own coffee beans and do the whole process from tree to cup! The Cocoa farm was another hours drive but was another phenomenal experience where we saw the cocoa plantation in amongst the jungle. We again were informed and showed the process and got to try cocoa beans and 100% chocolate. The entire day 7:30-9pm transport, lunch and experience included was $120 USD per person worth every penny. Tips are very much appreciated (cash).

      Birding in Chicaque
      My friend and I spent a great day birding in Chicaque National Park guided by Diego and Héctor from Andes Tours. They were both personable, knowledgeable, and clearly excited about seeing birds themselves. It was a great day out and I'll have memories of amazing birds to look back on for the rest of my life. Andrés was responsive and helpful in organizing the trip. I would recommend this trip plus the addition of a stop at the hummingbird observatory just outside the park. It is a small additional cost, but well worth it as we saw six species of hummingbirds up close.

      A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!
      Andes Eco Tours gave us such a unique and special opportunity to see behind the curtain of typical tourism. For a day, we were invited to the homes of lovely, hard-working families to see what it takes to produce some of the most traded agricultural products: Coffee & Chocolate! Diego and Hector were wonderful guides, and we felt completely safe and cared for as we drove through South Bogota and into the rural mountain region. This experience was well-planned, and we got to participate in nearly every step of the production of these products. My husband and I had our two young sons with us (ages 7 & 9), and our hosts were so kind and considerate towards us and our boys! The provided lunch was also delicious :) I recommend this experience to anyone who desires to see a true, working Colombian homestead producing some of the world's most desired commodities! Thank you again for this opportunity and for an amazing day!

      Andes Eco Tours. "Birds and Butterflies". (2 day trip from Bogota).
      A driver and interpreter collected the pair of us from our hotel in Bogota. They turned up on time, took us to interesting, lovely venues, and found lots of birds en route. We were the sole clients so we travelled in a car with just the four of us. We had stated that our major interest was birds, specifically hummingbirds. The driver was also a good bird guide, equipped with a 'scope which he used to help us see distant species. We had a comfortable overnight stay at a clean quiet farm, with a good home cooked dinner. It was a very pleasant two days. The only puzzlement was the title of the tour - we hardly saw any butterflies at all, however as they arranged the trip to fit our expressed preferences, maybe it would have been slightly different had we requested to see butterflies. Or maybe it was just the wrong time of year for butterflies. I

    This guide was fantastic. He brought his 5 year old daughter with us. They told us all about the natural area and their lives. The scenery was gorgeous.
    Only problem was the driver (who gathers the clients to bring them to the tour guide) didn't wait for me to get in the van. The meeting time was 8am and he drove off at 7:50am. I had a sim card but couldn't get a hold of anyone through WhatsApp. I had to recruit a friend in the US to call the phone number from a normal line (not WhatsApp.) Then I had to Uber to catch up with the group (an extra cost out of my pocket.) Because of the driver and the weak response from the company owner, I wouldn't likely go anywhere with this company again. But the tour guide of this tour was so awesome that it should still be considered.

    We respectfully disagree with this review! Rachel booked a tour on February 4th, 2023 (12 months prior to her review) for a cloud forest hike in Choachi which was not La Chorrera but a different location. She showed up late to our meeting point and had someone call us from a California number at 8.20am when the departure time was set for 8.00am. She then contacted us on WhatsApp for the first time around 8.30am. We luckily had another transport available nearby and we offered to pick her up in 20 minutes and take her to meet up with the group. She declined and took an Uber to the edge of the city where the tour Van was waiting for her. She reunited with the group by 9.00am and completed the hike without further issues. She then requested a full refund for the tour she had just been on even though she completed the hike, she was late to meet us and she delayed everyone else while they waited for her. It is our policy to not provide refunds when tours are completed but we did offer to refund the cost of the Uber as courtesy, she declined. We believe our response was accurate and timely considering that Rachel showed up late to meet us without any notice but yet we managed to get her on the tour and complete it successfully. Rachel never made a reservation to La Chorrera neither visited that place with us! She booked two tours to different locations and we completed both without any major issues, other than the delayed caused by her tardiness. We are nevertheless glad that the activity was completed and everyone had a good time on the hike with our excellent mountain guides!

    Being able to visit this waterfall was an amazing experience. It was such a beautiful thing to see, and the walk there, although a little tough at times, was very enjoyable. Our guide Juan was excellent and made sure we were well informed and enjoying ourselves.
