The conservation experience your Colombia program is missing.

Where it all began

Fundación Loros started in 2019 with a single hand-raised parrot — Beethoven — in a Cartagena apartment: a syringe, a spoon, and the internet for a vet. In 2022 the environmental authority granted our first rehabilitation permit; a few birds became dozens, and behind them the thousands seized across Colombia every year. We bought land, biologists and scientists joined, and what began in an apartment is now a 500-hectare reserve.

Add a Loros day to an itinerary and that’s the work your travelers step into — and the story they take home.

You already know the hard part of a nature program: the operator on the ground.

The weakest link in most conservation itineraries is the local supplier — variable guides, unverifiable impact, safety you can’t audit from a desk. We were built to remove that risk.

Every Loros experience is operated by our own staff, not subcontracted. Our release method is published, peer-reviewed, and openly documented. Our impact is counted, not narrated. When you put a Loros day in your itinerary, you’re adding the one part of the trip you don’t have to worry about.

Why we’re the easy part of your program

One reserve. Eight ways to slot it into your itinerary.

All experiences run along The Wildlife Freedom Journey — the real working route our team walks every day to return rescued parrots and macaws to the wild. Guests don’t watch the work; they join it. Every option runs 6 hours, max 5 guests per guide, door-to-door from Cartagena, with our own bilingual team — never subcontracted.

What every option includes: private door-to-door transport from Cartagena · breakfast & lunch from the farm · bilingual guide · all activities · one native tree planted per traveler · conservation contribution. No hidden optionals.

Modular by buyer

• For DMCs — White-label friendly. We operate under your brand on the ground if needed, deliver the impact data you report to travelers, and keep your customers yours.
• For luxury + conservation — Private-only on request. Single-group departures, customizable depth, and a conservation narrative backed by a Cambridge paper — not a brochure.
• For birding & nature specialists — Specialist-grade. eBird hotspot, 200+ species, target endemics (Forpus spengeli, Ortalis garrula), and free-flying released amazons and macaws you won’t see on a standard Caribbean itinerary — all backed by peer-reviewed work.

Impact your marketing team can actually use.

Your travelers want measurable good, and your competitors publish metrics for it. Here’s yours — per traveler, traceable, ready to put on your own page.

• 1 native tree planted by each guest, in the restoration zone, geo-logged.
• A share of every booking funds active rehabilitation of rescued birds.
• Each visit feeds citizen-science data — eBird checklists and parrot-sighting records.

Every metric on this page links to a source. That’s the difference between an impact claim and an impact program.

Don’t take our word for it.

Our free-flight release method for Amazona ochrocephala is published in Bird Conservation International (Cambridge University Press, 2026), co-authored with Texas A&M, Liberty Wings and CARDIQUE. Full protocols are open on our site. Read the paper (DOI).
