      Surprisingly easy to get to and certainly one of the most beautiful multi Eco system examples on the planet! Uncountable numbers of birds & plant life and amazing vista views-be prepared for climate changes and bring a well stocked day pack so that you can take a half day and really enjoy this adventure

      This very large National Park is a magnet for birds. While there are many trails to walk you can just as easily bird from the road. The Cajunama section gives you the higher elevation birds while the Bombuscara section is much lower in elevation. Birding in a cloud forest is learning to bird between the ever present rain showers. The birds are use to this and thus when the hard rain stops they rush out to feed. Lovely scenery and when walking uphill you are quickly reminded that if you are at the Cajunama section (7,500-8,000 ft.) breathing is hard.

      We were there over Christmas Eve also. We saw cock of the rock, blue morpho butterflies, and many species of birds on the feeder at the lodge we stayed at which was 1 1/2 miles from the entrance to the park. We hiked the Mirador trail and it is steep. I am in shape but this really was a kicker. It took us 45 minutes to the top and had to be careful on the way down because of the slippery leaves and wetness. Dont let the rain sway you because it rained and shined about 5 times in our hike and we got a great peek of the Mirador. The park worker was helpful. The waterfalls are good the big one a bit too big to swim in but the small one good on a sunny day. Great park with great birds and butterflies!

      We visited the Zamora sector. A nice park, great for birdwatching, with also a lot of nice insects! Trails are well maintained but it is not always clear on which trail you are (take a picture of the map at the park office!). Overall the trail system is not to very large, so if you come here for walking you will have done most of it in one day. You can take a taxi from Zamora to the entrance/parking for 4$ (fixed price, 2014). From here it is an easy flat walk (20-30 min) to the office, from where a trail system starts.

      You can't get better than tropical cloudforest for birds and unspoiled habitat. Being able to stay at Copalinga, one of the best lodges in Ecuador, makes it even more enjoyable.

      Visiting the park from Loja makes a good day out. Access by bus or taxi. If coming by bus you will have an extra 16 km to walk, 8km each way from the highway to the refuge. Best to get a taxi (15$) to the refuge and walk down to the road after you have done your hiking and get a bus back to town.Great forest and ridge track, reminded us of home - West Coast NZ, South Island.The main track is signposted as 3 hrs walk, allow at least 4 hrs. The track is steep and exposed in parts on a windy day it presents a real mountain day out not a walk in the woods. Take good mountain clothing and footwear. We had a great day out in less than perfect weather.

      We meandered through the woods for 5 kms. on well-groomed trails, absorbing the thousands of elements of the rain forest. There were 30 or more species of orchids which are in bloom in Jan-Feb. Our ultimate destination was the "poderosa" waterfall, which was raging in August after two months of rain. Very nice and helpful rangers who had pictures of sloth and olingo to share. Go early in the morning if you want to see birds.

      The Zamora part of this national park is tropical offering a temperate to warm climate, wildlife, and numerous birds, especially the “Cock of the Rock”. Camping facilities are adequate and on site care takers can assist with information on trails and where to see the most wildlife. It rains a lot so be prepared.

      A 4 hour round trip on horse to a spectacular waterfall. This is not for the young children, extremely overweight, or those with vertigo.It's extremely beautiful riding the edge of mountains with a guide, getting off the horses and hiking down to the falls. Wear a bathing suit under your clothes as there really isn't anywhere to change.
