The Theodoro Trail is a 20 minutes drive from the lodge and starts at 1100 metres altitude. The trail gradually descends along the track of an old disused railway. This turned out to be a very wet trail with a stream having overflowed along the trail. We spent a long morning and part of another day here. The first session here was rather slow and we missed several species (Slaty Bristlefront, Sharpbill, etc) therefore the need for a second visit.
