An incredible experience, not to be missed! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great looks at amazing birds and landscapes. Loved every minute! Highly recommended.

I had a nice walk with the Jocotoco guide, he showed me lots of birds, some had beautiful plumage like the Guayaquil woodpecker. Besides birds Rio reserve Ayampe has beautiful flowers and plants. I enjoyed the tour.

Luis Pérez was a great driver to/from the reserve as well as bird guide on the Inca Trail. It was a pleasure spending time with him. Of course, the birds were great. The quality of our lunch at Café del Zamarrito was a pleasant surprise - the best trout I've ever eaten! We look forward to returning.
