-itinerary-

Birds! Birds! Birds! This trip is all about the birds! Lets get going early with a 5:30AM pickup in Quito. We will make our first stop at the Yanacocha Reserve. Located about 1 hour from the city, this will be the highest elevation viewpoint on our itinerary. This is a pristine setting, giving us our first exposure to many hummingbird species. We then continue along the Nono-Mindo cloud forest route, arriving to the Tandayapa Lodge. We will pack in an afternoon of local birding, followed by a home-cooked meal and some possible nighttime viewing opportunities.

A full day of birding in the Tandayapa lodge. Today your guide will plan the itinerary with you, according to your preferences of physical activity level and target species. There will be an option of a packed lunch for those who wish to stay on the trails, or dining at the lodge if you prefer to stay nearby. The plan is to arrive back to Quito around 6PM. Departure times from the lodge will vary, according to your birding preferences for the day.
