Pasochoa Andean Forest

Itinerary

We meet you at your hotel and start our trip the forest reserve of Pasochoa, which is roughly 50km south of Quito. Here you get to acclimatize as the timber forest is at an altitude of 2.700m and the paths, boasting a collection of orchids, bromeliads and rare types of cedar, lead up to a height of over 3.500m. The Cerro Pasochoa reaches a height of 4.200m and is covered with lush paramo-vegetation. More than 120 types of birds live here and you have an opportunity to observe hummingbirds and even see condors. It is easy to see hummingbirds and with a little bit of luck we even can see condors. You can choose between hikes of different length before you return back to Quito to your hotel in the late afternoon. -/L/-
