Summary

Neotropical mammals can be very elusive and hard to see. On this tour, with a lot of effort and patience together

with local knowledge and some lack of sleep, we had wonderful results with great sightings of iconic Neotropical

mammals such as Giant Otter, Neotropical River Otter, Spectacled Bear, Mountain Tapir, Equatorial Saki

Monkey, Golden-mantled Tamarin, Tayra, Kinkajou and the enigmatic Olinguito - just to mention a few! The

birding was also superb and we saw some great species including several regional endemics. The weather could

have been kinder to us, but despite this we had a great tour with superb, lengthy views of the most important

wildlife species. It was a wonderful trip in a fantastic Andean country - Ecuador!

Day 1 Monday 19th January

Arrival in Puembo

The tour officially started with flights from the UK to Ecuador. Although different departure airports were used

and some group members had arrived in Ecuador prior to the tour, we all met at the lovely San Jose Garden

Hotel in Puembo. We discussed the tour and plans for the next day over a drink before enjoying a delicious

dinner. Afterwards we went to bed for a well deserved sleep!

Day 2 Tuesday 20th January

Puembo to Napo Wildlife Centre

Today started with a wander around our hotel’s lovely gardens which produced some very interesting birds such

as Blue-and-yellow Tanager, Rusty Flowerpiercer, Golden-rumped Euphonia, Vermillion Flycatcher, Hooded

Siskin, and Sparkling Violetear. We then had our breakfast before packing our belongings and driving to the

airport to catch our 35-minute flight to the eastern lowlands. A thick layer of clouds covered the snow caps of

the main volcanoes, but we still managed to see the northern face of Antisana at 5,750 metres. We disembarked

at Coca and moved to the jetty. Whilst our canoe was being prepared we enjoyed our packed lunch. With the

boat tuned and ready to go, we boarded and sat back on our comfy seats to begin our journey down the river

Napo.

A few interesting birds were spotted during our two-hour boat journey including Yellow-headed Caracara, Great

Egret, Osprey and Oriole Blackbird. As we arrived to the mouth of the Añangu Creek, we swapped our

motorised canoe for a comfy paddling boat and set off again, drifting along the narrower creek. We saw a good

array of birds such as Boat-billed Heron, Plumbeous and Silvered Antbirds, White-chinned Jacamar, Rufous-

breasted Hermit, Ringed Kingfisher, Green-and-rufous Kingfisher, Greater Ani and Hoatzin, amongst many

others. We then emerged from the creek onto Lake Añangu where the Napo Wildlife Centre (NWC) lodge was

in full view. We were welcomed at NWC with a delicious and refreshing guava juice and adjourned to the dining

room/bar to be allocated our rooms. We had an introductory talk about the history of NWC and Yasuni

National Park, and were told about the excursions that we would make over the coming days.

We had time to freshen up before dinner. We were delighted with both the quantity and quality of the food, and

this was a recurring theme throughout the tour; we ate well and often. After dinner we did our checklist for the

day and went off to bed to be ready for an early start the next day.

Day 3 Wednesday 21st January

Canopy tower, Lake Añangu & Cariañangu Creek

We started very early as we planned to spend the whole morning looking for wildlife from a 45-metre canopy

tower. After a delicious breakfast we set off in our canoes across the lake to the trial that took us on a 35-minute

walk to the tower. From the top of the tower we could see that the sky was full of dark rainclouds across the

whole forest. We managed to find some great birds before the rain came including Green, Olive, Casqued and

Russet-backed Oropendolas, Bicolored Hawk and Many-banded Aracaris. Venezuelan Red Howler Monkeys

were spotted in the tree tops, all curled up and getting ready for the rain that was about to come. Once the rain

started, we waited patiently for about two hours for it to ease. It was a heavy drizzle which didn’t stop us of

spotting other interesting birds.

We left the tree tops and focused on the trial which produced a lovely Wire-tailed Manakin and, further on, a lek

of Golden-headed Manakins which we all enjoyed a lot! We continued towards the canoe finding more

interesting wildlife on the way including an Amazon Forest Dragon, Citron-bellied and Cinnamon Attilas,

Amazonian White-tailed Trogon and a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. We paddled our canoes back to the lodge where

we enjoyed a very refreshing fruit juice. The report of a nearby Giant Otter made us return to the canoe and

head to the area in question. Although we missed the otter, we saw a beautiful Laughing Falcon and a Masked-

Crimson Tanager. We paddled back to the lodge for lunch which was delicious.

After a quick break we were ready for another expedition. Using the paddling canoes again, we set off along the

main Añangu Creek in search of Giant Otter. Our efforts paid off when we found seven Giant Otters swimming

and fishing along the creek. They came close to our canoes and it was an amazing show as we stayed with them

for a good forty-five minutes before they continued fishing around the lake. Very happy with the Giant Otter

show, we continued paddling to Cariañangu Creek where something very spectacular was about to happen. A

creature emerged from the water right in front of the canoes, looking different to the Giant Otters we just had

seen. It was a Neotropical River Otter accompanied by three youngish individuals. We had seen two species of

otter in less than two hours - unbelievable!

We returned to the lodge to celebrate our success over dinner.

Day 4 Thursday 22th January

Lodge Tower – Cotinga trail – Tiputini trail – Añangu Creek

We started the day with another early breakfast. As it was raining we stayed at the lodge and visited their new

canopy tower to do some wildlife watching. It was very productive and we watched Venezuelan Red Howler

Monkeys, toucans, tanagers, oropendolas, very noisy Yellow-rumped Caciques and much more. Once the rain

eased, we took to our canoes and headed for the start of the Cotinga trail, located not far from the lodge. We

had a great walk along this trail which produced Great Jacamar, Amazonian White-tailed Trogon, and Cinnamon

and Citron-bellied Attilas. A Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl was spotted as we headed back to the lodge for lunch.



After lunch, we split into two groups. One group took the Tiputini trail and saw the very rare Black-necked Red

Cotinga, and Yellow-billed Jacamar amongst other great birds. The second group went on a canoe ride and

paddled along the Añangu Creek which produced an array of great birds and monkeys including Venezuelan Red

Howler, Common Squirrel and White-fronted Capuchin. Back at the lodge we gathered together again and

enjoyed a delicious dinner, after which we went on a short night walk which produced a great variety of insects

and amphibians.

Day 5 Friday 23rd January

Añangu Creek – Parakeet ‘clay lick’ – Añangu Lake

After a delicious breakfast, we left the lodge at 7am. We watched a group of Golden-mantled Tamarin around

the lodge and then followed them in the canoes, getting amazing views of this most-wanted and cute monkey.

Next we watched a large group of Common Squirrel Monkeys as they started moving nearby, and as soon as we

reached the Añangu Creek, a group of White-fronted Capuchin came very close to our boats. The river level was

high and the current strong as water from the Napo River was coming into the Añangu Creek due to the heavy

rain of the previous day and night. This didn’t stop the magnificent Giant Otters being quite active nearby,

fishing along the creek shore. Once again, we had great views of them. Continuing down the creek, we saw a

family group of Venezuelan Red Howler Monkeys on the fresh leaves and fruits of young trees along the creek.

They were surprisingly close to us and we enjoyed their slow and relaxed movements with the naked eye. It was

just like watching a wildlife documentary from the first row and on big screen!

The ‘monkey show’ continued when, in a hole on a tree trunk, we found the hidden den of a wonderful family of

Spix’s Night Monkeys. We knocked on the trunk and they immediately popped their heads out of the holes,

making a fantastic family portrait with five monkeys looking at us and wondering who we were - absolutely

brilliant! They were visible for a few minutes before returning to their den to continue with their day sleep.

Continuing down the creek, a Two-toed Sloth was spotted on a tree just a couple of metres away from us by the

extremely sharp eyes of our paddler, together with a whip-snake and a very young Green Anaconda. The wildlife

show continued with Channel-billed Toucan, Silvered and Plumbeous Antbirds, Chestnut-fronted Macaw and

Many-banded Aracari. Another great encounter was about to happen when, once again, the sharp eyes and ears

of our front paddler located a movement amongst the tall trees. A family of nine Equatorial Saki Monkeys were

coming our way and they crossed on the branches right in front of us and above our heads. We watched them

right in front of us; eating and bouncing from branch to branch. Two of them were carrying their babies on their

backs. We enjoyed absolutely brilliant images of this fantastic species of monkey until they vanished back into

the thick forest trees, with Common Squirrel and White-fronted Capuchin monkeys followed them - what a

show!

After this fantastic monkey spectacular, we arrived at the main warehouse where we changed to a motorized

canoe for a quick crossing to a dryer part of the trail because a large stretch from the main warehouse was

flooded due to the heavy rain. We set off walking along the 500-metre trail which took us to the parakeet clay

lick. We waited patiently as Scarlet Macaws, Red-shoulder Parakeets and hundreds of Cobalt-winged Parakeets

came to the cliff. It was a very colourful show, enhanced by the many Blue Morpho and Caligo sp. butterflies

constantly passing by.



After this, we returned to the main warehouse for refreshments followed by a delicious lunch. After a break we

set off on our canoes, drifting down the river towards the lodge and watching more birds and even more

monkeys on the way back. Once at the lodge, we took a deserved break before gathering together for dinner in

the main restaurant area.

Day 6 Saturday 24th January

NWC – Coca – San Isidro

Our last early breakfast at Napo Wildlife Centre was very relaxed, and we were sad to be leaving this wonderful

paradise with all its beautiful and interesting wildlife. The boat journey along Añangu Creek produced large

groups of monkeys, mainly White-fronted Capuchin and Common Squirrel, plus some interesting birds. Then

during our motorized boat journey across the Napo River there were lots of large birds; and a pair of Oriole

Blackbirds were spotted too. We arrived on time at El Coca and our minibus and driver, Juan, were waiting to

take us to the upper subtropics where San Isidro is located.

We had a fairly good journey, enjoying the dramatic scenery with the landscape changing gradually as we climbed

from 220 metres at El Coca to 2,350 metres at Guacmayos ridge where we stopped for a birding break which

produced great views of White-capped Tanager.

We arrived at Cabañas San Isidro where Carmen and Mitch welcomed us and showed us to our comfortable

rooms. We settled in and then met on the main mirador-terrace to do some birding and to see if a Kinkajou

turned up in one of his favourite trees at dusk. He didn’t appear till later but we had great views of colourful

tanagers and a very co-operative Rufous-bellied Nighthawk flying repeatedly over our heads. After a delicious

dinner we went on a night walk which produced a male Kinkajou, and some of us managed to see the San Isidro

‘mystery’ Owl.

Day 7 Sunday 25th January

Sierra Azul – Borja-Baeza old road

It was a nice morning and we woke up with an amazing burst of birdlife in the gardens of San Isidro Lodge,

which kept us entertained before we set off to explore Las Caucheras track in the area known as Sierra Azul. The

pristine mountain forest kept us busy with plenty of bird flocks passing by on this sunny morning. The

temperature was pleasant and we were rewarded with great views of Powerful Woodpecker, Andean Tucanet,

Black-chested Fruiteater and others. We also saw a few Red-tailed Squirrels pottering around from tree to tree.

By midday a light shower made us drive back to the lodge where we enjoy watching activity at the different

hummingbird feeders in the lodge’s gardens. A delicious lunch followed.

A Mountain Tapir had been seen near the lodge. We went to investigate but it had moved on by the time we got

to the spot, although we did see very fresh tracks. For our afternoon excursion we drove towards the village of

Baeza and explored the old road to Borja. A great array of birds was seen including Flame-faced, Saffron-

crowned, Blue-necked and Summer Tanagers, and the beautiful Golden-collared Honeycreeper. The afternoon

was beautiful and sunny and we enjoyed the great landscape along the Quijos River with open meadows and

huge Aspen trees full of Russet-backed Oropendolas, and Subtropical Cacique’s nests.



Back in the lodge, some who had stayed there had great views of Black Agouti. After another delicious dinner,

some went for a well deserved rest whilst others went for a night walk and again saw the San Isidro ‘mystery’

Owl and a male Kinkajou.

Day 8 Monday 26th January

San Isidro – Guango Lodge - Papallacta

We started the day looking for Black Agouti around the lodge’s feeders. We found it and had great views. After

breakfast we left San Isidro and headed towards the Andean mountains at Papallacta. We made a few stops en

route. The first one produced great views of a group of Torrent Ducks moving actively amongst the white water

of River Quijos. We had great and prolonged views of these magnificent ducks; a great treat. Our second stop

was at Guango Lodge where, despite the wet weather, we enjoyed a fantastic variety of hummingbirds including

the gorgeous Glowing Puffleg, Tourmaline Sunangel, and the unique Sword-billed Hummingbird. Other birds

were actively moving around in feeding flocks and it was a symphony of sounds blended with the water drops

falling from the leaves - amazing sounds for the ears!

After enjoying the wet but beautiful montane forest of Guango, the last leg of our journey was completed when

we arrived at the beautiful lodge at Papallacta. We checked in and enjoyed the hot springs, the main attraction of

this beautiful place.

Day 9 Tuesday 27th January

Cayambe –Coca National Park

We set off fairly early to explore one of the most beautiful habitats of the Andes; the Temperate Forest and the

Paramo. Our target was the main Paramo mammals, particularly Spectacled Bear and Mountain Tapir. We left

our lodge towards the Oyacachi road which led to the restricted zone of Cayambe-Coca National Park, one of

the main wet Paramo areas of the world and home of a fantastic array of wildlife. We made our first stop at the

reserve entrance which produced a few interesting birds such as Cinnamon Flycatcher, Shinning Sunbeam and

Bar-winged Cinclodes, amongst others. We continued along the track and made another stop to check an area

used by bears to cross from gulley to gulley. We had just started scanning the hills when there was a shout of

“bear”; and there it was, a wonderful male Spectacled Bear, relaxed and in search of juicy Puya flowers. We

watch him in astonishment, wondering whether we could drive a bit closer to get better views. We moved and

found a perfect spot where we watched this beautiful beast searching for his breakfast. It found a large and juicy

Puya flower and sat comfortably on the paramo grass, tucking into his delicious food. We spent nearly thirty

minutes watching this individual and we couldn’t believe how lucky we were.

Our luck got even better when a Mountain Tapir was spotted on the mountain opposite, walking and feeding on

Chilca bushes. This was the icing on the cake; seeing two of the most amazing Andean mammals at the same

time! Even our park ranger was absolutely amazed and had no words to express his astonishment. It was a great

wildlife moment. We were privileged to live the experience and watch these two wonderful beasts for up to 45

minutes. Eventually we moved on to leave them alone, enjoying their morning feast. We couldn’t be happier

after experiencing which was, without a doubt, the prime event of the tour!



We continued on our way, finding a few interesting birds including Paramo Ground-Tyrant, Stout-billed

Cinclodes and Plumbeous Sierra-Finch. We returned to the lodge for lunch, and then had a break before going

out in the afternoon. We went to the higher areas of the Paramo, but with the weather turning wet and very

foggy, we returned to the lodge and did a walk around the premises. Later we gathered together for dinner.

Day 10 Wednesday 28th January

Cayambe-Coca National Park – Guango Lodge

After another early start, we set off to the same area of the Cayambe-Coca National Park and beyond, getting to

the Oyacachi old road. The morning was misty and drizzly at times so we continued till the weather improved,

which allowed us to take a walk. We saw some interesting birds including Gloosy and Blue Flowerpiercers, Great

Sabrewing, Tyrian and Viridian Metaltails, Rainbow-bearded Thornbill, White-throated Tyrannulet, Scarlet-

breasted Mountain Tanager, Paramo Seedeater, Red-crested Cotinga, the stunning Golden-crowned Tanager, and

fantastic views of the endangered Masked Mountain Tanager. Light rain started to fall and fog came with it as

well, so we drove back towards the lodge in order to have our lunch.

The weather in the afternoon didn’t improve so we went to a lower altitude; back to the area of Guango. We

explored the area and walked along the hill trail which produced beautiful views of the pristine montane forest.

We also saw some interesting birds including Northern Mountain Caciques, Scarlet-breasted Mountain Tanager,

Lacrimose Mountain Tanager and Turquoise Jay. After a pleasant walk we returned to Papallacta, making a stop

above the village to get good views through the telescope of a Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle and her young on

the nest; a wonderful way to finish the day!

Day 11 Thursday 29th January

Cayambe-Coca National Park (Guamani entrance and Oyacachi road)

We had a leisurely breakfast as the weather was very wet with rain falling non-stop. We went out in our vehicle

to the national park, this time through the Guamani entrance, located a good 20 minutes drive from our lodge

and in the heart of the Papallacta Pass. As we were expecting, the weather was as bad as around the lodge: foggy

and completely overcast. As we approached the top of the mountain the wind increased. We scanned the murky

Paramo from the minibus, eventually finding two beautiful Andean White-tailed Deer. They were very close to

the track so we had wonderful views and it was a great reward for our hard work considering the unsuitable

weather. Later, we returned to the lodge for lunch.

The weather was still wet in the afternoon but we went out again and drove along the Oyacachi old road, hoping

to have some luck with other mammals. The weather didn’t improve, so we returned to the lodge a bit earlier

than usual. This allowed us extra time to pack our belongings and get ready for our drive towards Bellavista

tomorrow morning.

Day 12 Friday 30th January

Papallacta – Cumbaya – Calacali – Bellavista

After a relaxing breakfast, we checked out of our hotel in Papallacta and headed towards Quito. We went

through the Papallacta Pass where we made a few stops which produced a number of interesting birds such as



Andean Gull, Cinereous Harrier, Tufted Tit-Tyrant, Hooded Siskin and Black-tailed Trainbearer. As we

approached Quito’s eastern valley, Cumbaya, we stopped to enjoy the local paila ice cream which was really tasty

and refreshing. We continued around Quito and took the Calacali – Los Bancos road. We stopped for a picnic in

the Calacali area and spotted some interesting birds including American Kestrel, Ash-breasted Sierra-Finch,

Sparkling Violet-ear, Band-tailed Sierra Finch, Eared Dove, Black-tailed Trainbearer, Golden-bellied Grosbeak

and Golden-rumped Euphonia whilst eating our picnic lunch. Next we continued to the village of Calacali itself

to see the original monument at the middle of the World, at Lat 0° 0’ 0”, right on the Equator.

After this stop we continued on the main road to Bellavista, arriving in good time to check in at our hotel and

enjoy the ‘garden birds’ around the lodge such as the vast array of hummingbirds and tanagers. We were enjoying

dinner when we were interrupted by one of the highlight mammals of this tour, the enigmatic Olinguito, visiting

the fruit feeder set at the lodge. It was wonderful watching a recently discovered mammal which fulfilled our

expectations. We returned to finish our dinners with the Olinguito coming back to the feeders again and again till

we retired to our rooms with a big smile on our faces!

Day 13 Saturday 31st January

Antpitta Farm – Milpe Road

Today we had a very early start in order to visit the famous Refugio Paz de la Aves, a bird sanctuary created a

decade ago by brothers Angel & Rodrigo, who patiently trained elusive birds of the Antpitta family. They are

very difficult to see as they are elusive and extremely secretive, alongside Ocellated Tapaculo and Dark-backed

Wood-Quail. We started by visiting a hide which overlooked a Cock-of-the-Rock lek. We all enjoyed watching

these colourful birds displaying and, at times, getting really close to us. A beautiful Golden-headed Quetzal was

also seen at this site. We then move to a different part of the sanctuary where a Yellow-breasted Antpitta was

‘called’ from inside the forest; amazing. Then a family group of Dark-backed Wood-Quails were brought to our

feet and we enjoyed feeding them. After this, it was time to see the magnificent Giant Antpitta. The list

continued with a Rufous-breasted Antthrush, Ochre-breasted Antpitta, Chestnut-crowned Antpitta and the

beautiful Ocellated Tapaculo. It was an amazing spectacle to enjoy, and to experience a brilliant example of

conservation and sustainable eco-tourism. After this fantastic show, we were offered and served a nice local

breakfast prepared by our hosts’ wives.

After enjoying the Refugio, it was time to carry on westwards, descending in altitude to the foothills along the

Calacali – Los Bancos road. We took a detour to the Milpe track where we found some very interesting bird

species, most of them Choco endemics, including Choco Trogon, Choco Warbler, Choco Toucan and Spotted

Woodcreeper.

After a long day we returned to Bellavista lodge, arriving in time for dinner and in time to see more Olinguitos.

Day 14 Sunday 1st February

Bellavista – Quito airport (via Calacali)

It was a beautiful morning and we started very early with a pre-breakfast walk around the lodge. We found some

great wildlife such as Russet-crowned Warbler, Yellow-bellied Chat-Tyrant, Spillman’s Tapaculo and Sickle-



winged Guan. Back at the lodge, a beautiful Tayra was seen really well at the fruit feeder, enjoying some bananas.

It was very relaxed and unaware we were enjoying his company - just brilliant!

Very happy and satisfied with the fruitful morning, we had our breakfast whilst enjoying views of the wonderful

Tandayapa Valley from the lodge’s dome. We then packed our belongings and started to make our way towards

Quito airport. We stopped at Calacali for lunch before continuing through the Cumbaya valley to our final stop,

Quito airport, with plenty of time to catch our flight.

Day 15 Monday 2nd February

We arrived back in the UK where another Naturetrek adventure came to an end.
