Chakana Reserve Andean Condors & Bears

Leave Quito early in the morning for a one-hour drive towards the East towards Hacienda Antisanilla - Chakana Reserve, a 7, 000-acre conservation land. This area safeguards Ecuador's most important population of Andean Condors. Today you'll have access to a privileged lookout to some of the most important Condor roosting and nesting sites. You might see them gliding at eye level. You'll spend the entire day in the area, searching for Andean condors (should be easy!) and other beautiful birds like the unique Ecuadorian Hillstar. You will even have to keep your eyes open for the only bear species of South America: The Spectacled Bear. I know the best areas to increase your chances to find iconic species of this area, I'll be happy to show them to you and use my spotting scope to give you the best sighting experience. After exploring the Reserve you'll have a well deserved break and lunch at Tambo Condor where you can also observe different species of hummingbirds like the unique Giant Hummingbird.
