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, de hoge Andes-hoofdstad van Ecuador, heeft een van de best bewaarde koloniale centra van Latijns-Amerika, omringd door vulkanen en groene bergen.

Het historische centrum behoorde tot de allereerste plekken die tot UNESCO-werelderfgoed werden uitgeroepen, en zijn kerken, pleinen en kloosters zijn spectaculair. La Compañía de Jesús glanst van binnen van bladgoud, de Basílica del Voto Nacional heeft waterspuwers in de vorm van Ecuadoraanse dieren, en de Plaza Grande wordt omringd door de kathedraal en het presidentieel paleis.

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