Birds Ecuador - West
Ecuador ebird hotspots
The number of birds found in the Western part of Ecuador or mostly known as Mindo Cloud Forest are inmense. Just the in number of Endemic species of the Andean Choco (part of south west of Colombia and North West of Ecuador) is incredible. In our unique bird photography tour we combine with the Highlands of Yanacocha and Antisana and then we go down to the valley of Tandayapa, Nanegalito and Mashpi, we even drop down to Pedro Vicente Maldonado where to visit the Frutti Tour bird feeders (it is just the name frutti but it is found more birds there than fruits).
