We chose to take the 2-day excursion to the Bellavista Cloud Forest, located near the top of the famed Tandayapa Valley, within the Andean cloud forest region, a type of mid-altitude tropical rainforest known for its birds (hummingbirds, toucans, and more) that extends from 3,000 to 8,000 feet elevation. The Bellavista Reserve stands at 7,300 feet.
