Conservation Program in the Cloud forest

To get to Los Cedros in one day you must take the 6:00am bus which gets into Chontal at 9:30am or the 8:00am bus from Otavalo(buy your ticket the day before) which gets to Chontal around 1:00pm. This gets you to the reserve in time for lunch from Quito. At that time in the morning it is easier and safer to get a taxi to the Ofelia bus station – from the Mariscal area, this should cost around $5-10. hte buses leave early in the morning..... more...
