Small urban ecological reserve with mixed trails, ponds and native vegetation offering close-up birdlife, reflections and skyline/volcano backdrops. Best at dawn for active birds and soft light; golden hour yields warm city-volcano silhouettes. Easy access from north Quito, informal parking nearby; no ticketed entry but bring warm layers for high altitude and a tele/zoom for skittish birds.
