Howler Monkey Tour - Rural Adventure Hikes and Adventures

ITINERARY

It all starts in Filandia where we will pick you up in a jeep - Willys heading to the Barbas - Bremen Reserve, a natural destination where you can discover the beautiful landscape of the Bremen Forest.

Finally, you can bathe in a delicious waterfall of crystal clear water and then drive back to the meeting point in the Municipality of Filandia.

CLARIFICATION ON THE OBSERVATION OF HOWLER MONKEYS

Howler monkeys are a species that inhabit this forest, and it is common to see them during the tour. However, as they are free-living animals and not in captivity, their sighting depends on natural factors such as the weather, the time of year and the behavior of the animals themselves on that particular day.

Our expert guide knows the habits of howler monkeys well and does everything possible to maximize the chances of seeing them. However, spotting wildlife in its natural habitat always involves a degree of uncertainty.

If you like adventure and enjoy nature, I assure you that the experience is well worth it, not only for the possibility of seeing the howler monkeys, but also for the beauty of the surroundings and the biodiversity of the forest.
