- Dress appropriately for the weather; layers recommended!
- Closed toed shoes recommended.
- Accessible trail options for those with mobility issues on portions of the SkyWalk bridges and portions of the Santa Elena Reserve.

- Bring your own reusable water bottle.

What are the clients saying about this tour?
Reviews in TripAvisor of 2025 tours to clients around the world!
We spent a totally enjoyable 4 hours with Marcos as our knowledgeable and personable guide through the beautiful Curicancha Reserve on Feb. 22, 2020. We were a mixed group of teens and 62 year olds and he totally held our interest! His passion for the vast number of birds was remarkable and he REALLY knew his stuff! He assisted us in getting some great pictures!
