The meeting point will be in the central park of Mindo at 5:00 a.m. Your guide lead you to the Reserve. The driving to the place of visit is approximately 30 minutes.
We will go up the road until we reach the Mindo-Nambillo forest. On the trip we will cross 3 rivers. The Mindo, Nambillo and Bravo river. When we approach the reserve, you can hear the strengthening noise making by the Andean Cock of the Rock. The walk to the Birding Hide will be about 10 minutes up. So you must be prepared for a little working out. The altitude of the place is about 1500 meters above sea level.
After almost 2 hours of admiring, photographing, recording the Andean Rock we will go down to the entrance house to serve us a snack. Which is prepared by Margarita the owner of the reserve.
It is time to return to the meeting point this will be approximately at 9 am or a little more. On the way back, other birds could be observed as Choco Toucan.
