Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve & Lodge, Tandayapa - Ecuador [03:05]
Bellavista -- A cloud forest reserve and lodge deep in Ecuador's northwest, less than 2 hours from Quito. Smart Voyager certified, this special place offers peace and true discovery of exuberant nature, with 10 km of trails taking you to waterfalls, through forests of tall trees festooned with mosses, orchids and bromeliads. Birding here is superb -- we are on the Nono-Mindo road, now the new Eco-route. Flurries of hummingbirds come to our feeders, including Gorgeted Sunangel, Collared Inca, Brown Inca, Buff-tailed Coronet, and more.
