A useful tip for anyone staying in Coroico – there’s a clear trail starting behind Hotel Esmeraldas which goes up Cerro Uchumachi. The first part goes through some shrubby areas (with Olive-crowned crescentchest) and small patches of semi-humid forest (with the as-yet-undescribed form of Cnemotriccus flycatcher). After an hour or two at birding pace the trail flattens and enters fairly pristine cloud forest with interesting birds, including Hooded Tinamou and Scimitar-winged Piha.

Not as good as Apa Apa, but if you are stuck in Coroico it does the trick.

Best of luck,

Joe
