Fotos del bosque nubloso

As part of the Fulbright orientation last week, we took a bus to a nature preserve north of Quito.  This family-run conservation effort, called Reserva Inti Llacta, aims to restore and maintain the area's biodiversity that has been severly threatened by deforestation.  They engage in low-impact farming, shade-grown coffee production, educational programs, and low-volume canopy tours (ziplines).  Below are some photos.

(Very happy horses.)
