About this package
A full day at the Silanche Reserve, one of the lowest zones on the agency's routes, where the species differ from those of the higher cloud forest. A certified guide goes with you. The star bird is the Barred Puffbird (Nystalus radiatus), a lowland bird of the Chocó. It includes a certified guide, transport and entrance fees. It is an option for anyone who already knows the highland birds and wants to see species from another zone, or who wants to give one whole day to a single place.
