Travelling out from our base in Cochabamba, we visited the Chapare Road today. Our first stop was KM 70 near the turn-off to Tablas Monte. This has been a reliable site for Chestnut-crested Cotinga on my previous visits and it didn't fail us today. From the main road you get a pretty good view over the canopy of what forest there is left here and it wasn't too long before Simon Fogg found this bird. White-eared Solitaires and this roadside Peruvian Chat-tyrant were noted here too.
A trail uphill on the other side of the road produced great views of the near endemic Hooded Mountain-toucan before we descended to the Miguelito area around KM99.
