Visits
- 2026-04-12: Our final day with Carlos, the driver, we went up the hill next to Cochabamba hoping to find the Cochabamba Mountain Finch and the Wedge-tailed Hillstar. I could hear the finch calling from everywhere, and eventually, one popped up right next to us. The hillstar was a bit more of a challenge. We found that one after some time as well and headed back to town to catch a flight to Trinidad.
