FEDIC FAUNA offers training activities and courses focused on wildlife biology, field methods, conservation, and environmental awareness, including prevention and response to ophidic (snakebite) accidents and other wildlife-related risks.
Explore serviceExplore the wild landscapes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with biologists who know the terrain not only as guides, but as field researchers.
FEDIC FAUNA offers immersive walking expeditions through tropical forests, foothills, river valleys, and transitional ecosystems of northern Colombia. Our excursions combine the thrill of real wildlife exploration with accurate biological interpretation, ensuring that every observation becomes both an experience and a learning opportunity.
We operate strictly as specialized field guides. We are not a hotel or tourism agency. However, we can recommend trusted local accommodations and, in specific cases, offer very simple shelter at our small, hand-built field station — designed for research and minimal-impact stays.
For visitors and nature lovers, we provide engaging and accessible explanations of species, behavior, and ecological roles. For scientists, photographers, and advanced wildlife enthusiasts, we offer in-depth interpretation including taxonomy, conservation status, habitat specialization, functional ecology, and ecosystem dynamics.
Our expertise spans birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, including the red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) and giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla, locally known as oso palmero).

Field-based studies, biodiversity assessment, and ecological research.
Our work aims to address critical knowledge gaps in poorly studied regions and taxa, generating reliable data that can directly inform conservation strategies. In many parts of Colombia, species remain insufficiently documented — and some are yet to be formally described by science.
We welcome support for upcoming studies and field expeditions, biodiversity surveys in remote or understudied regions, and taxonomic research dedicated to the description of new species. Contributions may help finance specific expeditions or research lines.
Descriptions of our ongoing and upcoming research projects will be published here as results and expeditions develop.

Transform your undergraduate thesis into real field research.
FEDIC FAUNA offers scientific supervision and practical support for undergraduate students who wish to develop meaningful research projects focused on Colombia’s fauna. We guide students from identifying a research question to collecting field data and producing a rigorous final thesis.
Our approach combines academic mentorship with real-world field experience. When possible, thesis projects can be integrated into ongoing research lines, allowing students to contribute to broader conservation objectives.
Contact us for supervision inquiries and project discussion.
Courses are being designed for students, professionals, and local communities.
The courses will combine scientific knowledge with applied field experience and safety-oriented training. The objective is to strengthen local capacity and promote responsible interaction with wildlife.
Training will be offered both in person and online. Course details and registration information will be announced soon.
Contact us if you would like to be informed when courses become available.
