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.

"A secure building, communicative renters, a clean modern condo and an outstanding view."

"Daniels place was absolutely amazing! Everything from when we arrived to when we left was taken care of. There is a guide on site that takes you exploring all over the area and is an expert in all the wild life. All meals are also taken care of, home cooked and absolutely delicious. The house is very charming and you can tell a lot of work has been put in it to making it feel like home. We cannot wait to stay at Daniels place next time we're in Ecuador!"

"Owner was easily available and responsive to questions. Need good GPS map to target address. Taxi driver from airport had a difficult time finding it even with my Google map. We were one block away and he was confused. Once we pinned no further difficulties. Large supermarket is 15 min walk. Safe neighborhood."

"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. Must mention Jorge, the sweetheart who made sure I had all I needed, found time to assist in luggage and taxis with a genuine smile and caring. "

"We stayed in a junior suite for one night after being in a small village for days. This hotel is safe and comfortable. it has all the necessary amenities. Its a quick walk to the mall with all the modern stores you could dream of. Carolina Park is across the street, a great place to roam and walk around. "
