Breathtaking Cloud Forrest Paz Birding Magical Tour - Van Life Ecuador

  • This experience was unique and magical beyond our imagination. We came to Mindo, Ecuador "looking for birds", sort of doing the van life freestyle thing. Maybe our expectations were too low. Maybe the drive wasn't sketchy enough. Maybe it was magic. We don't know but we stumble onto one of the most breathtaking experiences on this journey. And what is super cool, is Snow was right there hiking through the rugged cloud forest to discover a fascinating world that neither of us even knew existed. Meet the Antpitta.
