You'll look for blue-headed, yellow-crowned, and dark-headed parrots along with parakeets. Then walk the Parakeet Trail to a forest viewpoint where you can get closer looks at up to five parrot species, and if you're lucky, spot howler monkeys, tapirs, or jaguars. Later, visit the Kury Muyu intercultural center to learn about Kichwa culture, music, dances, and handicrafts directly from local women.
