Alambi Hummingbird Feeders (Alambi Reserve)

At the entrance to the Tandayapa Valley, the small Alambi River reserve (1,550 m) offers easy, close observation around a large number of hummingbird feeders set among rich, colourful flowering vegetation. It is a gentle introduction to cloud-forest birding: birds come to you, the light is workable, and photography is unhurried.
