About This Reserve
In 2001, a ProAves expedition described the elegant Chestnut-capped Piha from a tiny fragmented forest in the north-eastern most Central Andes of Colombia. Eventually, Colombian non-profit ProAves came to acquire a core forest remnant of 1,300 acres to protect the Piha and established a network of trails along ridges and streams. The reserve is now around 3,271 acres and consists of primary and secondary forests and grasslands undergoing some regeneration.
The region has an impressive bird list, with 523 species recorded, which include the flagship bird, Chestnut-capped Piha, Stiles’s Tapaculo, Parker’s Antbird, Red-bellied Grackle, Multicolored Tanager, Black-and-gold Tanager.
