Nature Photography Conservation in Colombia
Nature photography conservation in Colombia is our way of life. Motmot Nature was founded in Colombia by nature photographers Jinneth Acosta and Pedro Bernal, who share a deep passion for wildlife and conservation. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to protect biodiversity through art, education, and direct action. We offer a platform where you can take online and field-based courses, support conservation through donations, and shop bird-inspired products. Through nature photography and our learning experiences, we aim to inspire a new generation of visual storytellers and conservationists.
Every product we sell, every course we teach, and every hectare we protect is designed to give back to nature everything it gives to us. Whether you’re an enthusiast, a student, or a donor, you become part of a growing movement to preserve Colombia’s natural heritage through our lenses.
These birds live only in Colombia. Let's keep it that way.
Online Courses
Our online courses help you become a better photographer while caring for nature. As you learn new skills, you also support real conservation work in Colombia. Each course you join helps protect wildlife and bring nature education to more people.
All sessions are live and interactive, guided by photographer Jinneth Acosta. You’ll receive direct feedback, real-time answers to your questions, and support tailored to your goals. Whether you follow our course or a custom plan, you’ll grow your skills with personal attention every step of the way.

Impressions & Reviews
My wife and I are intermediate birders and picked this property for it's geographic location. We had an amazing week. Michael and his family made our stay amazing. Comfortable clean accommodations, great food. Expert birding guide and beautiful property with another reserve on way to national park where we had a great caving adventure. Added many new species to our bird lists with many endemics! We highly recommend you visiting El Encanto.
