Our great bird guide Rudy Gelis and driver Hermes were indispensable on this rather difficult trip in north central Colombia, more or less an area between Bogota and Medellin. We captured images of species residing in the Eastern and Central Andes, in addition to the Magdalena River valley. Although the first part of the trip was difficult, we were able to fulfill our expectations. Beautiful mountains and river valleys, and many, many bicyclists
