Venture with me into an unparalleled journey throughout different ecosystems in the Andean Eastern Slopes, from a high altitude tundra-like habitat to lush green vast mountainous rainforest. Witness the origin of the exceptional water path between the Andes and the refreshing network of rivers that actually flows to the mighty Amazon basin. This area acts as a very important continuous corridor between the Andes and the vast tropical rainforest of the Amazon Region. Due to its location on the Equator, the steep Andean foothills, and the close proximity of the Amazon, the Quijos Valley area hosts one of the richest diversity records in the world. I'll make sure that you get the best out of this day. I know the right places to increase our chances to admire some of the most emblematic species of flora and fauna. We'll even take time to search for Andean Bears along the way. An amazing diversity of hummingbird species will also make this a memorable experience.
-Pick up from your hotel at 7:00 am -Head out towards Papallacta Pass to search for Andean Bears and other emblematic fauna. -Drive towards the Quijos Valley (1hour approximately) -Visit different gardens that features a wide variety of flowering plants and also feeders, all of which attract a dizzying diversity of hummingbirds. - Visit Rio Quijos reserve -Enjoy lunch at Quijos Ecolodge -Return to Quito in the afternoon -Drop off in your hotel around 4:00pm *Optional add on: Visit a Cock-of-the-Rock Lek in the afternoon. This activity is additional and it depends on weather conditions.
