They can only be found in Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago, and Bolivia.

On the eastern slopes of the northern Andes, scrub, broken-canopy, and secondary woodlands, as well as damp to wet cloud forests, are home to blue-capped tanagers.

The blue-capped tanager primarily eats fruit, although it has also been seen doing aerial sallies to catch flying insects.

The methods of reproduction of these animals are not well known.

It is known that they breed between June and October, building a cup-shaped nest composed of twigs, fibers, moss, and bark around eight meters above the ground.
