We had a great day trip from Cuenca to the Yunguilla reserve. The trip was easy to organise and fairly priced. Edison was really friendly and helped us find birds for our life list. Most importantly, we saw the endemic Pale-headed Brush-finch which can only be seen at this reserve. I would highly recommend taking a day trip if you are in Cuenca and want to spend an easy and fun day birdwatching!
