An Ecuadorian Rain Forest Adventure into Earth's Greatest Ecosystem
Nearly half of all living species, both plants and animals, dwell in our planet's rain forests. With more complexity and biodiversity than any other global ecosystem, the Amazon Basin holds myriad wonders for the nature traveler. In Ecuador, the Amazon region is called the Oriente, encompassing the vast wild jungle east of the Andes. Discover it during a stay at a rain forest ecolodge in the Napo River region, where our remote location and naturalist programs offer outstanding opportunities to experience the sensory drama of the Amazon. Day and night walks reveal monkeys, sloths, black caiman, a rainbow array of tropical birds and a percussive orchestra of nocturnal sounds, while dugout canoe journeys may offer a chance to spot river otters and pink dolphins. We also gain insight into the lives of local Indigenous people we meet on village visits.
