Our Program:

Travelling to Ecuador is a brilliant experience.  Safe,

clean and a natural wonder.  We visit multiple 

lodges in the mountains, either on the east slope,

or the west slope of the Andes Mountain range. We

land in Quito, from the airport our driver will pick

us up and travel to the nearby lodge. 

First some bird photography, then dinner, and a good

rest! All the amenities! Clean rooms, superb food and

services. The birds are right outside the door!  We also

will travel into the nearby small town for a cultural

visit, shopping, and possibly a meal.

During our stay at each lodge, we will pay

visits to local locations to

find different species, environments, and photo opportunities. 

Our driver is always very knowledgeable, and great with

helping us with luggage and ground management logistics.

Daily Itinerary:

Each day is a new adventure.  A great

set of meals prepared to accommodate our schedule. 

We start with a quick coffee at dawn, then photography

until breakfast is ready.  Lunch and dinner with lots

of great photography in-between.  To see the variety

of species, have a look here in the Ecuador Gallery.
