This was a highlight of our stay in Cartagena and is highly recommended. We Left with our guide, Martin who picked us up at 0900 from our apartment. The traffic was heavy getting out to Barū, taking nearly 90 mins to get to the national aviary but very much worth it. The collection of birds there is second to none. It was a huge privilege to see a Harpy Eagle as well as a condor and many, many other beautiful birds in excellent condition. Wear appropriate clothes for 2-3 hours in the sun and take insect repellent as there are some mosquitoes. Quicker trip back to Cartagena. Also interesting to pass a vibrant market and industrial areas in the way, giving more of an insight into life in Colombia. Definitely take a good camera and lens as there are huge numbers of photo opportunities of the birds. Memorable.

Great spot to watch, learn and experience. The natural habitats around the Aviary is amazing and well kept. The exotic birds are a must watch and the 11.30am bird show is phenomenal by all means. Tip: Bring a telephoto camera lens for great unforgettable photos of some amazing and beautiful birds.

If you're a nature/bird lover, this is a must do. Try to go in the morning when it's less hot and the birds are more active. Admission is like $17, and if you take your time, you'll spend about 2-3 hours there. If you're doing this as a day trip from old town, try and find a taxi driver who will take you, wait for you, then bring you back. It's VERY remote (takes about 80 minutes to get to) and the chances you can get a taxi or Uber back from the Aviary are LOW. We scheduled an UBER the night before to pick us up at our hotel. When we met him, we asked if he would wait 3 hours and then drive us back. He agreed. The price out there was like $25. The price for him to wait and bring us back was $30. That's a GREAT value for basically 6 hours. You CANNOT schedule an UBER in advance to pick you up from the Aviary and cell service is spotty out there. Make sure you have a way to get back from there BEFORE you go!

This organization has unfair unjust policy of charging foreigners more money to enter the aviary.
There is no valid reason or explanation as to why someone who comes from another part of the world has to pay more than residents to visit this place. money is money and people are all equal and should be treated the same all over the world.. and when asked as why I was given attitude and no answers to my questions. We arrived as a group of 10 and we lost time transportation and money coming here
I will never visit again
