Nestled in the cloud‑forest foothills of the Western Andes near Cali, La Florida is a warm and friendly lodge offering access to exceptional habitats and birdlife. With expert guidance and a superb network of feeding stations, it provides opportunities to observe and photograph many rare and charismatic species.
The lodge offers six simple yet comfortable wooden cabins, each with an en suite bathroom, WiFi and a forest‑view porch to ensure a relaxing stay. Its real appeal, however, lies in its extraordinary location within a stunning tract of protected cloud‑forest renowned for its rich biodiversity and exceptional birdlife. More than 340 bird species have been recorded in the forest surrounding La Florida, including 30 species of tanagers and 24 species of hummingbirds, as well as Colombian endemics such as the chestnut wood‑quail and the dazzling multicoloured tanager.

With expert guides, numerous on-site trails in addition to well‑organised off‑site excursions and superb photographic opportunities, the lodge provides a perfect base from which to explore this rewarding region.
