Description

Hand-Fed Magic: The Exclusive Hummingbirds Most travelers see hummingbirds from a distance; at Chaquimallana, they land in the palm of your hand. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a profound, soul-stirring connection with the "Fairies" that most people only ever see in documentaries. Why This is an Absolute Must: The "Human Perch" Experience: Feel the literal thrum of life as up to 12 different species of hummingbirds trust you enough to feed directly from your hand. Photographer's Paradise: Capture world-class, close-up shots that are impossible anywhere else. No zoom lens can replace this proximity. Expert Insight: Learn the secret lives, incredible metabolism, and survival tactics of these vibrant jewels from our master naturalists. Pure Serenity: An intimate, peaceful setting away from the Mindo crowds. If you leave Mindo without feeling the weightless touch of a hummingbird, you haven't truly experienced the cloud forest.

Fascinating mini birds up close

The hummingbirds are attracted with sugar water teas. In the Ecological Garden we were allowed to suck a lot of hummingbirds on the flowers. - and let the beautiful creatures land on our hands (with a small sugar water vessel). Toll!

Incredible Hummingbird Experience!

Feeding the hummingbirds by hand was an amazing experience, and we saw 16 different species while we were there. The lodge where we stayed had a few feeders, but the garden we visited on this tour included a purpose-built area for viewing and feeding the birds that was incredible. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and was super helpful in identifying the various species for us while we fed them.

A wonderful experience

To have many hummingbirds sit on your hand and drink from a handheld feeder was a very special experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves hummingbirds.

It's a great trip.

Very good experience, saw two bigmouth birds, a lot of donuts, a lot of birds, hummingbirds drinking sugar water in my hands. Drinking coffee and watching the birds eat bananas is a wonderful experience.
