Visit us in Ecuador 🇪🇨

What a view! When you join us on an Andean Cock-of-the-rock lek tour, you see more than just some cool looking birds. Watching the sunrise over the valley is the best way to start your morning!

¡Qué vista! Al unirte a nuestra excursión para observar el apareamiento del Gallo de la Peña andino, verá mucho más que aves de aspecto impresionante. ¡Contemplar el amanecer sobre el valle es la mejor manera de empezar la mañana!

Farewell to Hailee and Jonas (left) and welcome to Daley and Graham! We feel so lucky and honored to have such wonderful couples taking care of our natural area, Reserva Las Tangaras, in the Andes of western Ecuador.

The experience is like a mini-Peace Corps experience of 5.5 months, not 2 years, but still, it's a BIG commitment. You can learn more about these young people by reading their blogs at https://reservalastangaras.com. BTW, they are there to guide and host you, so come visit.

Hola! The new stewards Daley and Graham are here! We've spent the last few days learning the reserve and taking in all the amazing wildlife. We will do a more in depth blog post introducing ourselves but for now we'd like to take moment to say goodbye to Hailee and Jonas who did an amazing job during their time on the reserve. They spent the last few days giving us in depth training which was a lot of work, but don't worry we all still had tons of fun! Good luck to Hailee and Jonas on their next adventures!!!

¡Hola! ¡Los nuevos mayordomos Daley y Graham están aquí! Hemos pasado los últimos días aprendiendo la reserva y disfrutando de toda la increíble vida silvestre. Haremos un post más profundo presentándonos a nosotros mismos, pero por ahora nos gustaría tomar un momento para decir adiós a Hailee y Jonas que hicieron un trabajo increíble durante su tiempo en la reserva. Pasaron los últimos días dándonos un entrenamiento en profundidad, que fue mucho trabajo, pero no se preocupe, todos todavía tuvimos un montón de diversión! Buena suerte a Hailee y Jonas en sus próximos aventuras!

Congratulations to the winners!
