Extended Tour. Multiple days with early starts. On certain days guests may have the opportunity to take a break from the regular activities to enjoy an afternoon at the hotel. Joining for the early morning birding is highly encouraged as it is the bird’s most active time.Physical Requirements: 3. Moderate. Ecuador is a mountainous country. Participants can expect one or two miles or more of hiking per day at a birding pace on rough terrain and elevation under 10,000 feet. Higher altitude birding (up to 14,000 in Pappalacta Pass) is done at a much slower pace from the vehicle.Birding Skill Level: 3. Mid-Level. An extensive knowledge of local species is not necessary, but participants should be familiar with most bird families. Studying expected species prior to the trip is highly recommended.Included with the TourIndiana Audubon Leader and Lifer Nature Tours Guide coordinating trip logistics before and during the tour.All lodging and meals as listedGround transportation and transfersEntrance fees to reserves and national parksNot included with the TourInternational airfareTips for guides, drivers, and lodge staffSouvenirsAny other expense or extra tour not listed as included aboveAlcoholic beverages and personal expensesHealth or Trip InsuranceAdditional ConsiderationsThis trip involves travel on roads in Ecuador that may be unpaved or bumpy.
