Fine Feathers in Cartagena Really fantastic experience. Well worth the 70000 peso ( $16 USD ) entrance fee for foreigners. Some enclosed aviaries but most areas were not netted and the birds were curious and unafraid of humans. Many beautiful and interesting species represented. Small snack bar onsite selling water/sodas, chips and ice cream. Lots and lots of seating areas along the pathways to relax and enjoy the sounds of the various birds. One word of caution: if you are not coming as part of a tour group, make sure you arrange your return transportation ahead of time as taxis/ubers will be hard to find since the park is a bit isolated.

Hermoso! Un lugar excelente y cuidado. Visita super recomendable. Lo único que no fue tan bueno fue el show de aves al vuelo.

Da visitare se vi piacciono gli animali Luogo molto bello, con tanti animali da vedere, tenuto discretamente. L'Aviario si trova a circa un'ora di distanza dal centro di Cartagena. E' molto interessante da visitare, e gli animali sono tenuti bene. Al suo interno è possibile ammirare, tra gli altri, anche l'aquila arpia, il rapace più grande del mondo e i bellissimi e coloratissimi tucani. Costo del biglietto 65000COP (circa 5 euro).

a little bit like a zoo This was a fun experience and the layout of the park was very nice. Was expecting a bit more of a nature reserve atmosphere but it felt a bit more like a zoo, which was a bit sad at times

Hermosa experiencia 🦅 Este lugar es sacado de una película de Jurassic Park, es hermoso… al entrar y que me recibieran tantas hermosas guacamayas y pavos reales, lloré de la emoción. El que visite Cartagena si o si debe realizar este plan.

Hermoso espacio para aves increíbles! Jamás imaginé ver las aves que pude ver en este hermoso lugar! Es una reserva privada que tiene muy bien conservados los espacios para brindar una experiencia altamente disfrutable a quien lo visita. Las aves se mueven en un gran espacio controlado, pero no están encerradas, se encuentran casi en libertad (casi porque hay aves rapaces que tienen que estar separadas de las demás). Los espacios están limpios y amplios por lo que se disfruta mucho caminar ahí. Importante: llegar temprano (9:00 am - 10:00 am) para disfrutar el canto de las aves sin mucha gente ni tanto calor. Es necesario ponerse repelente, pues hay muchísima vegetación y mosquitos.

El Aviario: Un Inolvidable Recorrido por El Paraíso de las Aves El Aviario Nacional de Colombia se encuentra ubicado en la isla Barú y como fue creado como una fundación, su objetivo principal es educar y promover la conservación, reproducción y repoblación de la avifauna colombiana. Aproximadamente una (1) hora dura el trayecto de 40 kilómetros desde el Centro Histórico de Cartagena de Indias hasta el Aviario Nacional. Luego de cancelar el costo para ingresar al aviario, un empleado le coloca al visitante una cinta o escarapela autoadhesiva que se le pone en la muñeca que le acredita para realizar el recorrido. Esta prohibido que los visitantes les den alimentos a las aves, pues, el aviario cuenta con un personal propio que alimenta a las aves con concentrados especiales autorizados por el veterinario del lugar. El recorrido se realiza a pie a través de senderos ecológicos en donde se tiene la oportunidad de disfrutar de tres increíbles ecosistemas: Selva Húmeda, Litoral y Desierto. Se pueden observar maravillosos ambientes paisajísticos, vegetales e hídricos muy hermosos a la vista del visitante y muy propicios para tomar muchas lindas e increíbles fotos y hacer fantásticos videos. Como el ambiente es tropical caluroso, es muy importante llevar suficiente agua embotellada para mitigar el calor y la sed. El recorrido cuenta con varias zonas de interés donde están debidamente identificados los Hábitat de las aves que se pueden apreciar tales como: zona de Guacamayas y Loros, Selva Húmeda Tropical, zona de la Águila Arpía, zona de la Varzéa, zona de Tángaras, zona de Manglar, zona de Cormorán, zona de Cigüeñuelas, zona de Fochas, zona del Rey de Gallinazos, Laguna de Flamencos rosados, zona de Cigüeñas y Garzas, zona de Búhos, zona de Garzas nocturnas, zona de Ibis escarlatas, zona de Turpiales y Cardenales, zona de Tucanes, zona de Pericos y Carpinteros, zona del Cóndor de los Andes, zona de Emú, zona de Grulla Coronada y finalmente el Lago de Aves Migratorias y el Lago de Pisingos. Durante el recorrido por el aviario hay una fantástica presentación o show con la participación de hermosas aves y el show se llama “Aves al Vuelo”. El show es conducido por el veterinario y varios trabajadores del lugar. El veterinario inicia con unas recomendaciones previas para los visitantes antes de empezar el show y durante la participación de cada ave va explicando algunos detalles significativos sobre estos bellos ejemplares emplumados que logran acercarse un poco a los visitantes durante su vuelo y caminata mientras son alimentados por los trabajadores como estrategia de premio por su grata participación durante el show. A orillas del Lago de Aves Migratorias se encuentra la Tienda "El Paujil" donde se pueden adquirir hermosos accesorios y souvenirs para llevarse como grandes recuerdos de la visita al aviario. Al pasar la zona del Manglar se encuentra la Cafetería "Martin Pescador". Al pasar la zona del Cóndor de los Andes se disfruta de la Cafetería "Guacharaca". En estas cafeterías se puede disfrutar de refrescos embotellados como jugos, gaseosas, agua y té frio, diversos snacks y una variedad de deliciosos helados mara mitigar el intenso calor y la sed. El aviario cuenta con servicio de unidades sanitarias, sin costo para los visitantes, en buen estado y con su pertinente dotación de elementos de aseo (papel sanitario y jabón líquido). La señal de internet en el aviario se torna muy débil y a veces nula. La misma situación sucede con las llamadas vía celular.
