Birdwatching: Mindo Lindo – Guacharo

We depart Mindo at 06:00 am towards Mindo Lindo Reserve, a great place to observe hummingbirds, tangaras, fruit eaters, and more interesting birds. Then we follow the Chontal route, which leads us to the Caves of Tayos. In the caves we can see oilbirds, a rare species that was once hunted for its oil. After leaving the caves, we follow a path that leads through an area home to Jacamars, Cuckoos and Manikins. Depending on the weather, we will return to Mindo between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
