Cloudforest refuge near Tandayapa offering dense misty forest, hummingbird feeders, colorful tanagers and waterfalls — ideal for close-up bird/action shots, intimate forest landscapes and macro plant textures. Best at predawn–midmorning when feeders are busiest and mist yields layered mood. Trails are short but steep; bring rain protection. Small entrance fee and limited parking; guided walks increase sightings. Accessible from Quito with a car or shuttle (road can be wet).
