Santiago was a wonderful guide who knows where all the birds are! He was very knowledgeable about the birds and his country! The meal he arranged at the reserve was delicious and Ecuadorian! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

We chose the Zuroloma Reserve private day trip as it fit perfectly with our schedule and offered a relaxed itinerary focused on observing and photographing some of the local birds with the added benefit of introducing us to the lush forest above Quito. This turned out to be an excellent choice of locations, offering stunning views and abundant bird species - all of which were new to us. Neotropical Nature and Birding proved to be a great find. They responded promptly to our inquiries and provided thorough information. Our guide, Santiago Salazar, was extremely knowledgeable and very personable, making the day particularly enjoyable. We were so pleased with our initial Neotropical tour that we scheduled a 2nd tour with them and explored the Antisana Ecological Reserve area, and upon our return to the states we immediately began researching an extended trip with Neotropical Nature and Birding. That’s about the highest endorsement I can offer for this operator.

After driving for approx 1 hour outside of Quito along a fairly rugged, steep road, we arrived at this former farmstead. The views along the way and at the reserve were magnificent! Upon arrival, we walked down a short path to an observation area where we were able to watch and photograph a variety of birds including diverse hummingbird species, flower piercers,, Antpittas Andean guans, a scarlet-bellied mountain tanager etc. We were able to take our time and never felt rushed. It was awesome. After the birdwatching/ photography, we had lunch at a very quaint local restaurant that boasted a variety of local delights. Super yummy !!! Would highly recommend this experience, company and tour guide (Santiago)
