ECUADOR July-August 2007

[xav]

Hi!!!
I visited Ecuador in July-August 2007, you can read/download my trip report here (http://users.skynet.be/fa558105/ECUADOR2007.pdf) (pdf - 3,5 Mo)
I tried to give as many practical informations as possible, to help birders travelling without a tour operator.
Enjoy.

That report is bringing back some nice memories from my visits there last year. Super country with super birds.

I'm feeling a little gripped off about the Rainbow-bearded Thornbill (I didn't see one) and I didn't see the Black-breasted Puffleg either.

Terrific report Xav. Thanks a lot! Your headache after Yanacocha most likely was altitude sickness. Jose

Thanks for the comment.
The headache was terrible, I wasn't able to move from my hotel room, I went from Yanacocha to Quito too quickly... now I know for the next time ;-)

Thanks Xavier. This is very useful for me as I am planning a July-August trip for this year. You must have invested a lot of time and effort on this great report. Nice photos too.
