Subtropical cloud forest

This natural sanctuary is one of the few remaining cloud forests in the world, and is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna, many of which are endemic to the region.

The reserve boasts more than 300 bird species, including the iconic paddle-tailed hummingbird and the Andean toucan, as well as lesser-known mammals, impressive frogs, rare insects and beautiful orchids.

Beyond its natural beauty, the Protected Area offers visitors the opportunity to support conservation and sustainable development in the region. Revenues from tourism are used to fund research, education and biodiversity conservation projects, as well as to provide employment for local communities.

By visiting Bellavista Cloud Forest, you contribute to the conservation of this vital ecosystem while enjoying a unique and unforgettable experience in nature.

In the commitment to support local communities, additional visits to other nearby nature sanctuaries (birds, butterflies) and local businesses (chocolate tour, panela factory) are also offered.

Situated along the historic Nono-Tandayapa-Mindo highway, renowned as one of Ecuador's premier bird-watching destinations, this area has even won the Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the highest number of bird species observed in a single day!

With the recent designation of the Nono-Tandayapa-San Tadeo highway as Ecuador's first Ecoroute, additional habitats in the region will be safeguarded for birds and other wildlife.

Explore the extensive 10 km trail system or the lightly traveled dirt roads that meander through the reserve.

There is always an array of impressive birds to observe, from vibrant flocks of tanagers and unique species like the plate-billed mountain toucan and tanager finch, to intriguing calls that await identification.
