Dawn breaks over a shallow lake and the forest answers: high, metallic parrot calls, a sharp toucan laugh, and the soft rattling of small understory birds.

The reserve is about a one-hour drive from central Cartagena depending on traffic; private transport is usually provided.
No — the center is a rehabilitation facility and all contact and feeding are performed by trained staff only.
Common highlights include Turquoise-winged Parrotlet, Chestnut-winged Chachalaca, Keel-billed Toucan, and several hummingbirds; rare species are possible with a patient guide.
Children can join if supervised; however, people with significant mobility limitations may find some trails uneven—notify the operator so they can advise on access and pickup points.
The reserve grew from local conservation initiatives focused on restoring Caribbean dry forest and rescuing the region’s parrots in the early 21st century.
Programs center on rehabilitation and release plus habitat restoration; visitors support funding and awareness but should follow strict no-contact rules to minimize stress on wildlife.
Fundación Loros operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
