Nanegalito: Parhaat nähtävyydet ja aktiviteetit

Here we have a very distinctive hummingbird - the Collared Inca. In most lighting they appear all black with a white chest. but if you get them out in some direct light you can make out the blue/violet cap and the green throat. Make sure you hire a birding guide for your visit to the valley. In addition to locating and identifying the birds, a guide is the only way you'll find this amazing hummingbird garden. It's hidden among some dense vegetation, with the only marker being an overgrown footpath leading from the road.

Yesterday I posted a female Violet-tailed Sylph, and today we have the much showier male. It's a wonder that they can fly with such long tail feathers, but clearly the reproductive advantage outweighs any such inconvenience.
In addition to the Giant Antpitta, we also got to see a Yellow-breasted Antpitta looking for an easy breakfast. This guy was much smaller, and I can't imagine trying to find one out in the forest. At Refugio Paz del las Aves, Angel Paz and his family have successfully converted their 70 hectare forest into a world-renowned bird sanctuary. A must visit on any trip to Ecuador.
Without a doubt, one of the strangest looking birds I've ever seen is the male Andean Cock-of-the-rock. This color-blocked bird sports a disk-like crest on his head which obfuscates his entire face when viewed from the side. Although these birds are not endangered, the best way to view them is to find a lek where groups of males compete for females by showing off their plumage in elaborate displays that include bobbing, hopping, and making a variety of calls. The leks are only active in the early morning (6-8am) and late afternoon (4-6pm) when the light is just right. The males are also very skittish, so it's important to arrive early and wait patiently in a hide. Also, it helps to cross your fingers. Fortunately, here at Refugio Paz de las Aves there is an easily accessible lek, but to get there in time we had to leave our hotel at 4am (next time we will stay closer). We arrived around 6, but it was a quiet morning for the lek and we really only got a good look at this one bird. We could here other males in the vicinity, but within 20 minutes or our arrival they had all dispersed.

Did the full zip line tour here and it was the best zip lines I’d ever done. There are places where you can’t even see the other end of the line that you’re on as you glide at high speeds, hundreds of feet above the jungle.#Adventure
