Itinerario

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.

About Quito

Quito, capitale andina d'alta quota dell'Ecuador, ha uno dei centri coloniali meglio conservati dell'America Latina, tra vulcani e monti verdi.

Il centro storico fu tra i primissimi luoghi dichiarati Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO, e le sue chiese, piazze e monasteri sono spettacolari. La Compañía de Jesús risplende all'interno di foglia d'oro, la Basilica del Voto Nacional ha gargolle a forma di animali ecuadoriani, e la Plaza Grande è circondata dalla cattedrale e dal palazzo presidenziale.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
