Overview
This private tour allows you to visit the Papallacta volcanic area with thermal-springs located at 3250 msnm (10600 feet). You'll enjoy the hot-pools surrounded by the Andes Mountains. During your bath time you will watch the stunning landscape of the andean forest and the Eastern mountain range, which leads to the Amazon rainforest. This tour also include the visit to Guango lodge, one of the best places in Ecuador for birdwatching. You will explore the reserve with your tour guide to watch the birds like the Turquoise Jay, Torrent Duck, many hummingbirds and plants like giant ferns, orchids, bromeliads, anthuriums, and so on. Important: The cloud forest walk takes place on natural mountain trails that may be muddy, uneven, and slippery, especially after rain.
