Refugio Paz por las Aves

Refugio Paz de las Aves is located near Nanegalito (13 miles northeast of Mindo, at 4,590 ft). Angel Paz, a resident of the Nanegalito area, is the owner of this magical place. He and his brother have decided to convert their property into an antpitta and cock-of-the-rock sanctuary. In recent years, the reserve has become popular as it is easy to spot at least three species of antpittas: Giant, Yellow-breasted, and Chestnut-crowned Antpitta. It is a must stop for birders and photographers.
