Zamora, the gateway to the southern Amazon region, refreshingly cool due to its altitude, Zamora has a unique feel surrounded by waterfalls, rivers and orchids. If you like bird watching and hummingbirds this is the place to visit, just 1 hour from Loja with the new road.

Where to stay in Zamora?

Copalinga: A hydro-powered nature lodge great for hummingbird watching. (From $25 per person).
