The Torrent Duck is fairly common along the Andean slopes from western Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego in southern Chile. Within Ecuador it can be found in the tropical rainforest along swift-flowing rivers and streams on both slopes. Also, where conditions are amicable, this spectacular bird can be observed in the Inter-Andean valleys. Preferring altitudes above 1,500 meters (5,000 ft) it can be readily detected from 700 – 3,200 m (2,300 – 10,500 ft). Although there is little reason it should not be found along the entire slope of the west there are few reports of it south of Cotopaxi.
