Activity itinerary

Atacazo (Pass by)

The Chocó del Atacazo, located at 3,500 metres above sea level on the western slopes of Quito, is a cloud forest and páramo ecosystem with high biodiversity. This area is ideal for birdwatching, as it is home to emblematic species such as the Black-breasted Puffleg, which is endangered, along with hummingbirds, tanagers, Andean toucans, and other native birds. The combination of altitude, humid climate, and native vegetation makes Atacazo a key site for conservation, environmental education, and responsible tourism.

Rucu Pichincha (Pass by)

Pichincha Volcano, located in Quito’s western cordillera, hosts Andean forest, cloud forest, and páramo ecosystems with a rich diversity of birdlife. It is an ideal place to observe species such as the Andean Ibis, high-altitude hummingbirds, Andean thrushes, plovers, tanagers, and Andean raptors. The variety of ecological zones, cold climate, and native vegetation make Pichincha a key area for wildlife conservation, scientific research, environmental education, and responsible tourism.
