Add Video
The Tapichalaca Reserve, where the Jocotoco Antpitta was discovered in 1997, protects an unusually wet area of temperate forest on the east slope of the Andes. Since the initial purchase of 650 hectares in 1998, the reserve has been progressively expanded and habitat types from high altitude paramo (at 3,500 m) to sub-tropical montane forest (at 1,800 m) are now represented. A lodge for research workers and visitors was opened in 2001.
