From Loja, it is a few miles ride south of town to the entrance of this reserve. We found out when we arrived at the reserve that it is possible to stay there in their bunk beds. The cloud forest starts a couple of miles from the road. The area around the visitor's center had a very high diversity of birds in huge flocks.
