1. Zuro Loma has 8 ha 19 ac. It is a new small private reserve that has a beautiful garden, hummingbird feeders that will be very good for people who enjoy photography. We will look for some types of birds like the sword-billed hummingbird, the sapphire-vented puffleg, the mountain velvetbreast, the tyrant metaltail, the chestnut-naped antpitta, the rufous antpitta, and many more birds while we spend time in that place. Normally, the visit to Zuro Loma lasts around 3 to 4 hours just to enjoy that beautiful place and have the chance to help the local people, because the boys in this place do a very good job of conservation with the idea of showcasing the species that they have in that area.
