We are thinking of spending a week in Ecuador en route to the Galapagos, probably based at 2-3 different sites, each within 2-3 hrs drive of Quito, and I'd probably hire guides at each.
Which 2-3 sites should I pick to give a good range of birds/wildlife/scenery generally ? Presumably at different altitudes (though altitude might be an issue for my wife's asthma ?).
I'm a semi-serious birder but would there be enough other wildlife to keep my non-birding wife entertained, eg monkeys, any cats?, sloths, other mammals/reptiles ? We are just back from Brazil and visited Costa Rica 2 years ago and the variety of habitats/wildlife at both kept us both fascinated.
Thanks
