Verdecocha, just an hour from Quito on the Nono-Mindo road, is a playground for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Verdecocha is located on a private reserve at the head of the “Paseo del Quinde” route. The Verdecocha Expeditions- organized by a foundation of the same name- arranges horseback riding, mountain biking and llama trekking tours with round trip transportation from Quito. The reserve contains an incredibly rich biodiversity that you can view from trails that loop past waterfalls, thermal baths, prairies, and riverbeds.
