Looking for a bit more info on 2 sites near Bogota ( I have the Birdwatching in Colombia book) : Laguna Pedropalo and the BioAndina reserve. Very interested to hear from anyone who's visited either site, especially on an independent trip (finding non-tour trip reports for Colombia pretty sparse!).
Realistically, how long would it take to get by bus from central Bogota to Laguna Pedropalo? Roughly how much would a taxi cost instead? Is Turquoise Dacnis still possible there? (I've found a couple of trip reports where none were seen). Is it posible/easy to arrange entry to the lake area without going into Tena and trying to find the Municipality office? how much better are your chances of the dacnis in the forest by the lake than in the roadside patches??

love to hear anyone's experiences of either of these sites, and tips of how best to bird them.
