Rather than describing Bellavista I have chosen to give several valuable links below instead which will do a much better job of describing the flora and fauna of the Ecuadorian cloudforest at Bellavista than I can.  Don't forget to look at the photos by clicking on the Tortoises below.

Bellavista Cloudforest – describes the facilities and has a variety of photographic links
