TANDAYAPA
BIRD LODGE - Mindo The
only lodge in the world designed by birders, owned by birders, and
run for birders by birders. Here your hobby is not some peripheral
side-line to a normal tourist trap. This is a place where
the staff don't frown if you need a 4 o'clock breakfast. A place
where your passion for birds and wildlife is shared by the other
guests and staff. A place where you can walk in and see four
telescopes, five pairs of bins, and a mass of camera gear sitting
around because we're all relaxed and we know that it's 'our' place.
Yes, it's a place where you can see twenty hummers in an day, a
dozen other species passing by the dining room windows over breakfast,
and over one hundred species from our balcony alone. Now,
throw in the canopy deck, the large forest floor feeding hide, and
our extensive trail system, and you possibly have the ultimate birding
destination.
Birding at Tandayapa starts right on the balcony. Early in
the morning many birds come to feed on the insects that are attracted
to the lights on the walls during the night: Streak-capped Treehunter,
Tricoloured and White-winged Brush-finches, Grey-breasted Woodwren,
White-winged Becard, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, and Three-striped
Warbler are among the regular visitors.
