Bellavista Cloud Forest Extension

Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge  is located in a private reserve in the Tandayapa Valley. The Reserve is formed by sharp and deeply forested mountains, descending to gorges with rushing waterfalls and streams. The goal of the Reserve is to educate its visitors on the significance of biodiversity in tropical cloud forests and the ever-increasing importance of the forest’s protection.

Explore the reserve with a bilingual guide and look for some of the 320 recorded species of birds, as well as a large number of botanical treasures, such as bromeliads and orchids. You may even be lucky enough to spot some of the mammals present here, including the endangered Spectacled Bear (rarely seen, but protected by the Reserve), and Andean Coati amongst others.

After a day of exploration relax in the comfortable surroundings of Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge.
