Then we had a long bus ride to Buenaventura. Along the way, we stopped at Manglares Churute Ecological Reserve and got glimpes, but not photos, of a few Horned Screamers, a bizarre, vaguely goose-like bird with a white "horn." But the real treat was Buenaventura, the first of several Jocotoco Foundation ecolodges we visited. Terrific birding, in tropical cloud forest at about 1,000 meters. Specialties included the Long-wattled Umbrellabird.
A very nice lodge as well, as all of the Jocotoco ecolodges proved to be.
