December 14 and 15
Less than six hours of sleep and we're off to the west of Quito - up into the cloud forest to Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve. http://www.bellavistacloudforest.com/english/index.php
We spent wonderful two days (a lot of it in the pouring rain) watching birds and learning about the ecology of the cloud forest. We had a fabulous guide who added so much to our experience. Cozy bamboo hut to sleep in (it was quite cool at night) and great food. Bellavista is known for the variety of hummingbirds that live in the area and we saw a marvelous array. We certainly wished we had stayed longer.
