Wake up with some of the most fabulous views, as the sun rises over the western Andean slopes. Once you get in this unique tropical Andean ecosystem, hummingbirds will take your full attention. We'll visit reserves located at different elevations, all of them are locally owned and managed, and benefit the community providing an alternative to forest exploitation by promoting conservation and sharing the treasures that the cloud forest hides. Bird feeders will bring otherwise elusive species to very close distances, allowing you to photograph them and enjoy their unmatched beauty. The reserves in the area offer an amazing mixed setting of waterfalls and hikes through a lush green forest that will allow you to have a day of deep connection with nature. This is a second home for me, and I would like to share my expertise as a naturalist, birder and photographer to admire the most emblematic species of the cloud forest.
-Pick up at your hotel at 7:00 am -Head out towards Alambi cloud forest reserve (1 hour drive) - 8:30 Alambi Reserve Hummingbird Garden. Bird feeders will bring otherwise elusive species to very close distances, allowing you to photograph them and enjoy their unmatched beauty. -Drive towards the Mindo area. I make this tour totally flexible according to your main interests. I have several options to offer you, from birding and photography experience at different reserves, hikes through the lush green cloud forest with the chance of visiting waterfalls, ride on a cable car to admire the vast forest from above the trees, or for the more adventurous spirits you can visit the canopy zip-lines. A butterfly or chocolate farm tour is also available if you want to relax and take it easy. -Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant -Drop off at your hotel around 4:30 pm * A visit to an Andean Cock-of-the Rock Lek can be added in the afternoon upon request. This extends the time of the tour, and implies an additional cost.
