We are going to visit Ecuador in September as an independant tour for West and East Slope species.
Day 1 Flight to Quito
usually flights arrive rather late. So Hotel in Quito
Day 2 Yanacocha Reserve and drive to Mindo
We Plan to use Hacienda San vicente the „Yellow House“ for the stay on the west slope
Tag 3 Birding in and around Mindo
Day 4 Tandayapa area
Day 5 Rio Silanche
Day 6 Paz de las Aves / Milpe
Day 7 Mashpi area / Amagusa Reserve
Day 8 "Cleanup" in Mindo.
Day 9 Antesana Reserve Stay in Quito
Day 10 Papallacta Pass nach Guango
Cayambe Coca Reserve en Route then stay in Guango
Day 11 Guango / San Isidro
Day 12 Guacamayos/San isidro
Day 13 San Isidro drive to Wild Sumaco
Days 14-17 Wild Sumaco
Last Day (18) back to Quito
I have 2 more days to squeeze in somewhere. Are we missing anything in this itineraray which might be worth adding or shall we maybe just add one day in Mindo and one at the east slope?
Iam happy for suggestions.
