Cloud-forest reserve on Quito's western slopes offering orchids, bromeliads, hummingbirds, waterfalls and sweeping Andean valley views. Best at dawn for bird activity and morning mist, golden hour for valley panoramas. Accessible by short drive from Quito; visitor centre parking, modest entry fee; trails are uneven and often wet—bring rain gear and insect repellent.
