The Tandayapa Valley is a birder's paradise. The rugged slopes of this pristine cloud forest offer a spectacle of exotic birds like few places on earth. The mountain roads themselves are great avenues to hunt out mixed flocks, but for a truly amazing experience you need to visit Tony Nunnery's hummingbird garden at Parador Pacha Quindi.

Tony grew up in the US but has spent the last fifteen years in a small cottage he and his wife built on 70 hectares in the Tandayapa Valley. They have been reforesting the former pasture and have established a phenomenal hummingbird garden right outside their house. The sight and sound of a hundred hummingbirds whizzing about is something you won't soon forget. It also makes for great photo opportunities, so much so that professionals will even shoot here with their shade umbrellas and strobe arrays. I didn't have anything that fancy, and you'd do quite well here with a 200mm lens and large flash.

BTW, I believe that this here is a Speckled Hummingbird.

"The location was good but the hotel is in need of repair and a maintenance. The bathroom walls and floor were filthy. The building is historical but regular cleaning and maintenance would improve the venue. I would not recommend this hotel as there are several others in the area that are superior and at the same cost."

"I had the "apartment" on the 6th floor all to myself. Brand new, like a home, everything there for a fabulous stay. I want to live there. This hotel is way beyond 5 stars. Dario the front desk lovely man was so helpful and kind.
