z Ecuador: Northern

An abundance of hummingbird, tanager, and antpitta feeders coupled with excellent lodges and easy birding! From the Choco lowlands and across the Andes from west to east, it is no surprise that this comprehensive route is so well-loved by birders around the world! Includes three nights at the famous WildSumaco Lodge (one of the best birding destinations in the whole of the Andes) and three nights at the remote Playa de Oro Lodge (the best place from which to explore the Choco, and particularly reliable for the monotypic Sapayoa).
