The climate will vary to the high 75F or 80Fs, reason why layer clothing is suggested. Birding is mainly done from the road and the vehicle will be close to us at all times. This area holds birds of the eastern lowlands such as Amazonian Umbrellabird and White-breasted Parakeet. Bombuscaro is the lowest entrance to the Podocarpus National Park. Sunny and hot.
Insect repellent is necessary.
This is Plumbeous Rail land. Some of the birding done here may also produce dry forest species. Flight Loja to Quito, pick up by our vehicle. Birding drive to Bella Vista reserve at lower western montane cloudforest. The Bellavista lodge is very rustic but with private facilities.
