Ecuador Birdwatching Tour Western Slopes of the Andes

What makes birdwatching in the northwestern Andes of Ecuador, especially in the Chocó Andino, unique is its extraordinary biodiversity, with hundreds of endemic species found only in this region. The mix of cloud forest, altitude changes, and conservation areas creates a paradise for birders, offering rare close-up sightings of colorful hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans, and the iconic Andean Cock-of-the-rock—all in a relatively compact, easily accessible area from Quito.
