Wonderful Experience - This was a first-of-its-kind birding tour for us. Our driver/guide was very punctual (4:30 am pick-up at our Quito hotel), friendly, and helpful. At Refugio Paz de las Aves, we saw many cocks of the rock putting on a brilliant morning display. The owners also called up several antpittas. Along the way we also saw a pygmy owl and a night jar. At the owners' home, we were treated to a home-cooked breakfast as we watched many colorful birds (toucanettes, tanagers, hummingbirds, etc.) feeding on the fruits placed for our maximum viewing pleasure. After Paz de las Aves, we visited another small refuge, where myriad hummingbirds and several other species were feeding. It was a wonderful day for us as beginning birders.

Beautiful but Short - Seeing Cock of the Rock was super. Oscar was wonderful. Cloud forest was beautiful and peaceful. I loved the hiking there. I was surprised when we finished the tour so early (12:30) when advertised as a full day.That is why I gave it a 4 rating. I understand why as a single I had to pay 2 fares, but it seems a short day for the cost.
