They have a large range (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela)

The golden-tailed sapphire inhabits semi-open landscapes like the edges and gaps in humid forest, mature secondary forest, gallery forest, shady cacao and coffee plantations, and gardens. In Colombia and Venezuela it ranges in elevation from sea level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) and in Ecuador between 400 and 1,200 m (1,300 and 3,900 ft).
