It took us some time to locate one, but with the aid of the local birding team, we were astonished to see that brightly colored ruby crown contrasting with the golden throat. The pause here offered a pleasant change of scenery and additional species diversity before we continued deeper into the West Andes. After lunch in the famed restaurant Aquí Me Quedo, the evening found us at Araucana Lodge, a superb birding place nestled in the western Andes.

In La Florida, we got to see the icing on the cake—the Multicolored Tanager—at close range, alongside Golden-naped, Scrub, Saffron-crowned, and Golden tanagers. In the afternoon, we added superb and soul‑touching views of Little Tinamou, Chestnut Wood-Quail, and White-throated Quail-Dove. The hummingbirds also put on a real show, with views of no fewer than fourteen species, including Greenish Puffleg, Bronzy Inca, White-booted Racket-tail, and Fawn-breasted Brilliant. The second day found us birding La Minga and the Reserva Forestal Protectora de Bitaco. La Minga provided first-class views of more tanagers, barbets, and hummingbirds. It was a veritable religious experience to see the Northern Chestnut-breasted Wren, a spectacular wren with wonderful plumage and an inspiring voice. As we birded our way down the road, we crossed paths with parades of tanagers that included Flame-rumped, Blue-gray, and Summer (the last not truly a tanager, but rather a cardinal).",[7141],{"type":63,"attrs":7142},{"color":21},{"type":54,"attrs":7144,"content":7145},{"textAlign":48},[7146],{"text":7147,"type":52,"marks":7148},"The last full day of the tour found us in one of the richest birding bioregions, the Chocó.

Other wonders along the road included Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Club-winged Manakin, Chocó Brushfinch, and Glistening-green Tanager. We eventually made it to the well-known Comederos de Doña Dora, a beloved local feeding station where we enjoyed encounters with a vibrant cast of species, including Spot-crowned and Toucan barbets, Blue-winged and Black-chinned mountain tanagers, and Silver-throated and Golden tanagers; this is one of the few areas where the last two species overlap in range.

Its geographic isolation and altitudinal variation make it a haven for endemic and near-endemic species. More than 600 species of birds have been recorded, including rare, range-restricted, and iconic species such as Rufous-gaped Hillstar, Collared Inca, Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Chestnut-bellied Flowerpiercer, Gold-ringed and Black-and-gold tanagers, Olive Finch, and countless other species that reflect the area’s incredible avian diversity.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The birding experience centers on the renowned Montezuma Road, a 6.85-mile stretch of lightly-traveled road ascending from subtropical foothills at 4,255 feet to cloud forest and high páramo, reaching 8,530 feet at its highest point.

The participants named on the VENT booking and registration (the “Participants”) desire to participate in the tour(s) associated with the booking and registration (the “Tours”). In order to participate on the Tours, all Participants shall be bound by the terms of this Risk Waiver (this “Waiver”) and the terms and conditions set forth in VENT’s online Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, which are hereby incorporated into this Waiver by reference. \r\n\r\n2.\tAssumption of Risks. The Tours will offer a unique opportunity to experience birds and wildlife (and history and culture in some cases) in a variety of environments. However, the Participants are aware and understand that participating in the Tours is a potentially dangerous activity and involves risk of serious injury, disability, death, and/or property damage. The Participants are also aware of the highly contagious nature of bacterial, viral, and other infectious diseases (the “Diseases”) and the risk that the Participants may be exposed to or contract the Diseases by participating in the Tours, which may result in the Participants’ serious illness, personal injury, disability, death and/or property damage. The Participants acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of VENT employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of VENT. The Participants understand that, while VENT has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from participation in the Tours and the spread of the Diseases, VENT cannot guarantee that the Participants will not be injured or become infected with the Diseases due to participation in the Tours and that participating in the Tours may increase the risk of contracting the Diseases. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, THE PARTICIPANTS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PARTICIPANTS ARE VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE TOURS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. THE PARTICIPANTS HEREBY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE TOURS, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF VENT OR OTHERWISE.\r\n\r\n3.\tCompliance with Laws and Directives. During the Tours, the Participants will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Diseases and participating in the Tours, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. The Participants will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of VENT at all times during the Tours. If at any time the Participants believe conditions to be unsafe, that the Participants are no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the tour(s), or if the Participants begin experiencing symptoms of the Diseases, the Participants will immediately discontinue further participation in the Tours.\r\n\r\n4.\tWaiver and Release. Each Participant hereby expressly waives and releases any and all past, present, and future claims against VENT, the American Birding Association, and their respective agents, servants, employees, shareholders, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, contractors, donors, business and financial partners, and associates and their respective heirs, legal and personal representatives, successors, and assigns (collectively with VENT, the “Released Parties”), on account of all injuries, illnesses, disabilities, deaths, property damages, losses, or other liabilities arising out of or attributable to the Participants’ participation in the Tours, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of VENT or any other Released Party or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”).

Except for the health problems that are listed for each Participant in the booking and registration for the Tours, each Participant represents that such Participant is in good physical health and is able to tolerate the physical demands of the Tours. Each Participant understands, consents, and agrees that such Participant may be removed from the Tours by VENT as detailed in the Responsibility Statement.\r\n\r\n8.\tDispute Resolution. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that any Claim arising out of or relating to this Waiver will first be submitted in good faith to non-binding mediation in Travis County, Texas. Each Participant further agrees that if the Claim is not settled at mediation, the Claim will be submitted, at the sole discretion of the Released Parties, to arbitration in Austin, Travis County, Texas, administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor (“JAMS”) in accordance with (a) the then-current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, and (b) laws of the state of Texas, without regard to any conflict of law rules. No waiver of this Waiver to arbitrate will be enforceable on any Participant or any Released Party, and judgment hereon may be entered by a court in Travis County, Texas having subject matter jurisdiction. If the Released Parties do not elect to have a Claim submitted to arbitration, each Participant acknowledges and agrees that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any suit based upon a Claim otherwise subject to arbitration under this Waiver will be in Travis County, Texas. Even after suit is filed, the Released Parties will have the right to submit the case to arbitration by motion filed within one hundred twenty (120) days after service of process, summons, citation, or statement of claim on the Released Parties. Each Participant agrees that this agreement to arbitrate, including each related agreement and transaction, is involved in interstate commerce. This agreement to mediate, arbitrate, or submit Claims to court does not waive or modify the release and indemnity contained in this Waiver.

THIS WAIVER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULES. \r\n\r\n9.\tFurther Assurances for Minor Participants. In the event a Participant includes a minor (a “Minor”), at least one (1) other Participant in the booking and registration in the Tour shall be the parent or legal guardian of such Minor and shall be legally authorized to agree to the terms of this Waiver on behalf of the Minor. Each Participant acknowledges that the Released Parties shall rely on the foregoing representation and warranty, and such Participants shall indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from all reliance on such representation and warranty.\r\n\r\n10.\tEnforceability. Each Participant has read and understands this Waiver, which contains the entire and final agreement relating to the subject matter hereof. Each Participant understands and agrees that the terms of this Waiver will be binding on such Participant and such Participant’s heirs, legal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Waiver is determined to be void, unenforceable, ineffective, or against public policy, such provision will be disregarded and deemed removed from this Waiver and will not affect the remaining provisions of this Waiver.
