The Zuro Loma Reserve or "Bamboo Hill" is located near Yanacocha Reserve in the foothills of Pichincha Volcano, about 1hr 30 minutes from Quito, on a secondary gravel road. The reserve is a mix of a Temperate Neotropical Cloud Forest and Inter-andean Vegetation. In addition to the 171 registered bird species, we can observe 2 main Antpittas, the Equatorial Antpitta and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta. The show starts every day around 8am until around 10am.
