Meandro del Say, Protected wetland area in Fontibón, Colombia.

The Meandro del Say wetland covers 13.6 hectares near the Bogotá River, providing essential habitat for 22 different bird species at 2,548 meters elevation.

The area received official protection status as a District Ecological Park in 2000, marking a turning point in local environmental conservation efforts.

The wetland functions as an outdoor classroom where students and researchers study ecological processes and environmental science through guided educational programs.

Visitors can schedule free guided tours for groups of up to 25 people between 9 AM and 3 PM, with each tour lasting approximately two hours.
