We spent five weeks at Buenaventura. It is mostly second growth forest becoming cloud forest at the upper elevations an not quite as misty at lower elevations. The sun is not a common sight, but the birds are more active on cloudy days. Coming from three weeks in the dry forest of Jorupe Reserve, the first thing you notice are the big leaves. Very tropical. But since the elevation is the same as at Jorupe, about 600 m, it is just cool enough to be pleasant for most of the day.
Here are some views of the forest and the lodge:
