Central and South America are home to over 85% of the remaining tropical rain forests on Earth. Today we face the global challenge to overcome a pandemic.

We would like to share with all of you our decision to continue being inspired by Humboldt´s imagination, the adventurous expeditions, as well as sharing our knowledge and experiences in natural sciences with the most needed local people in remote areas of Colombia.

Finally, if we may, we kindly ask you to commit with a promise: as soon as the roads and the sky routes are open you will join us into all these majestic nature destinations to continue rediscovering the true wealth in our planet, life in tropical forests.

All of us are eager to greet you in Central and South America. Enjoy this fantastic lecture by Andrea Wulf lecturing about the life and adventures of the great scientist Alexander von Humboldt who made knowledge accessible.

In the Amazon Rain Forest experience with is simply extraordinary! The Biosphere Reserve of the is home to the greatest on Earth where there are many clay licks regularly visited by and Many parrot species are basically seed predators. The trees from where these colorful birds pick the fruits to attack their nuts and seeds have very acid and distasteful elements in order to protect their seeds, many parrot species have adapted to those defense mechanisms by consuming generous portions of clay and other dissolved minerals - kaolin related - which seal their digest system against acidity while taking other nutrients for their diet. At this particular easy and accessible clay lick, reported over a century ago and biologically monitored within the last 30 years, over 1200 individuals of four species of parrots carefully approach and visit regularly or daily the neutralizing clay for keeping a healthy stomach and take turns to have the minerals and salts from this clay lick located in the interior of the forest. In addition to these spectacular parrots other wildlife can be sighted taking minerals, some mammal species like and have been registered at the same site! Welcome to the most exciting in tropical forests of welcome to our Biotropica Expeditions providing you the best experience of Central and South America! enjoy
