A Walk on the wild side in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest
Welcome to megadiversity!
Because of its equatorial location and varied geography, Ecuador is one of the most bio-diverse countries on earth. In fact, there are so many endemic species here that it has been described as a land of mega-diversity!
Although the whole of Ecuador is blessed with fantastic wildlife, to experience things to the full you need to take a walk on the wild side and travel down from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest - the beating heart of Ecuador.
Here you can find an estimated 25,000 species of plants (compared to only 17000 in the whole of North America), 1600 species of birds, 350 species of reptiles and 370 species of mammals including monkeys, giant otters, giant guinea-pigs, sloths, spectacled bears, tapirs, jaguars and pumas - not bad for a country not much bigger than the UK!
We offer a variety of different ways to see the Amazon rainforest, from basic camping and trekking trips, to stays in comfortable but sustainable jungle lodges. Have a look below to see what takes your fancy:
