Overview

Milpe Birds Santurary is part of Mindo Cloudforest Foundation. There are 62 ha (155 acres) of land covering an altitude range of 1020-1150m (3350-3770 ft). It is recognized by Birdlife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). 255 different species of birds have been identified within the grounds and on a typical day one can expect to see between 30 and 50 different species.

Although any time is good for birding in this area, you can expect more rain during the months of January - March. However, rains normally occur in the afternoon and you can expect some relatively clear weather in the mornings. The temperatures are comfortable, averaging around 22 - 25 degrees C (72 - 78 degrees F) Long sleeve shirts and long pants (no shorts) are recommended for your comfort due to the biting insects. Rain gear should be carried in case of a sudden shower.

The trails are well maintained and could be rated as easy to moderate for walking. Boots would be recommended in the wetter months.
