Some 40% of Ecuador’s land area is covered by wildlife-rich Amazon rainforest.
Yasuní National Park holds record numbers of amphibians, birds, reptiles, and trees per hectare, making it one of the globe’s most important biodiversity hotspots.
Native guides lead you on verdant trails to spot monkeys, tapirs, jaguars, and frogs on land. In the water, look for caiman, otters, and anaconda. Look up to see an array of birds, including toucans and macaws, flying majestically through the canopy.
Furthermore, Ecuador’s rainforest remains home to a multitude of indigenous tribes, some of which have opened their communities to guests.
A 4 or 5-day visit to one of the quality lodges allows you to venture into beautiful primary rainforest, an environment like no other.
