Yanacocha Reserve Tour
We'll pick you up from the meeting point in Quito at 7 am and set off for the Yanacocha Reserve. This area is located on the slopes of the Guagua Pichincha Volcano and is known for its Polylepis forests. The lush forests and humid climate attract many high-altitude birds, including the masked flowerpiercer and tororoí rufos. Over 50 different species of hummingbirds can be found here as well.
At midday, we'll enjoy a snack consisting of a quesadilla (traditional corn and cheese dish), chulips chocos (toasted grains snack), and a soft drink or water. We'll drop you off at the meeting point in Quito at around 1 pm.
