Birding Site Guide

The next good site down the road is 3km before the small town of Affluentes. The place to bird used to between the km400 and 402 markers but the markers have changed by 11km making it between km389 and 391. This area is where the road goes over a little pass and there is a restaurant/garage. The food here is pretty good (4s) and the family even let us pitch our tent inside the restaurant once they had closed for the night. Birding here is excellent in the morning on either side of the restaurant with many large mixed flocks. We also had Ecuadorian Piedtail by the roadside feeding on small red flowers just 50m back towards Abra Patricia. I saw 65 species including 14 lifers.
