Die Reise zur
Freiheit

“This is one of THE best experiences I've ever had anywhere in the world! It goes far beyond being a mere ATV tour. You escape to the countryside about 90 minutes outside Cartagena — a completely different world from the walled city. You arrive at a nature reserve where they rescue, rehabilitate and “rewild” parrots and macaws (and in our case, we were lucky to see the release of a toucan). You meet the owner, Alejandro, a passionate conservationist, and his wonderful team. I canNOT recommend this experience enough! Book it!”

DO IT! 10/10 recommend

“This was a blast! Seeing the macaws and parrots so up close was amazing, we also got to see monkeys close to us and, using binoculars, saw a tucán! Seeing them in their natural habitat is way better than a zoo, and knowing that the macaws we saw in aviaries would be released as soon as they were ready made the experience even better. I love the good they are doing here. I highly recommend adding this tour to your Cartagena trip — honestly my favorite part. Book it!”

A soul-enriching journey into nature

“This was truly one of the best tours I have ever experienced. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated a highly professional and welcoming attitude. I especially appreciated the opportunity to be so close to nature and to hear the meaningful stories behind the rescued birds; it added depth and purpose to the tour. The most unforgettable part — real food for the soul — was riding a horse through the forest, up the hill, at sunset. I know I will remember it for the rest of my life.”

Escape

“Easy 1-hour comfortable transport from Cartagena with great information given en route. You visit a rehabilitation reserve and upon arrival are immediately immersed in birds. You take a UTV up and down the hills with great views of the countryside and the Cartagena skyline. Your guide is highly educated and will answer any question. You will be up close and personal with the birds in rehab. Felt like being out with a friend enjoying nature to the fullest. Highly recommend, especially if city life gets overwhelming. A breath of fresh air. Very memorable.”

A MUST DO when visiting Cartagena

“This tour is located an hour outside Cartagena. There was a light drizzle and we were given the option to reschedule; we chose to go through with it — no regrets! Rain suits, boots and helmets were provided. The staff and tour guides were excellent throughout and made the tour worth every penny. From fruit cutting to bird feeding, four-wheeling, the views and sunset, to horseback riding and planting trees — definitely worth the experience. The place is a beauty!”

Soul-healing experience

“What an absolute amazing experience! We love that the foundation is owner-owned and operated. As animal lovers, we were very impressed with how he manages and rehabilitates the animals — you can tell the passion and love he has for what he does. The hands-on experience was rewarding and does something for the soul. It's unexplainable to see the macaws and parrots flying free overhead, the tití monkeys enjoying their jungle, and the horses and dogs living side by side.”

Truly a sanctuary for rescued wildlife

“The work the sanctuary does to rescue and rehabilitate birds and monkeys is amazing. Their goal is to release them back to their natural habitat, if possible. We heard the horror stories of some of these beautiful animals; to see them interacting in this safe environment was heartwarming. I highly recommend this tour when you visit Cartagena.”

A piece of paradise away from city life

“This experience was the highlight of our trip to Cartagena. The work the foundation does is incredible, with a true focus on conservation and wildlife. From preparing food, feeding the birds, seeing monkeys and tortoises, to horse riding and planting a chosen tree — we wouldn't recommend this more highly. A huge thanks to Roshan, Andrés and Paulina; the passion they have for their jobs is exemplary and their knowledge out of this world.”

“We prepared food for the birds and learned about how the foundation was started and the mission that guides their work. We visited the soft-release locations for the macaws. A special moment was planting a tree as our offering to the foundation. This is a journey perfect for nature lovers and for those who enjoy adventures off the beaten path.”

Must-do in Cartagena, Colombia!

“Just an hour outside of Cartagena, we discovered the magic of the Loros Foundation. Horseback riding carried us to the highest point of the 1,200-acre reserve, stopping by the macaw release site. One of the most meaningful moments? Planting my very own white cherry tree on the hillside. The Loros Foundation is doing incredible work in bird rehabilitation and reforestation, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it firsthand.”

Awesome

“The guides were all very knowledgeable and passionate about their conservation efforts. We learned so much about the foundation and the importance of preserving nature and saving the animals affected by deforestation and other issues. This is great for families and a great opportunity to learn.”
