ecuador the amazon rainforest

Ecuador is a great place to explore the vast Amazon jungle, as the largely unspoilt expanse of dense rainforest is easily accessible by a short flight or drive.

There are thousands of different species of plants and wildlife in this unique and diverse ecosystem. A wide variety of animals live in the lush green canopy, more than 30m above the ground, from monkeys and snakes to exotic birds and insects. In the rivers far beneath, dolphins leap from the water, surrounded by caimans and numerous species of fish.

Staying in a comfortable jungle lodge in the middle of the rainforest, you can trek through the jungle in the company of expert local guides who can take you to the best places to view rare wildlife. Paddle down the rivers in canoes, crossing palm swamps, and climb towers to the height of the canopy ... experience first-hand the wild Ecuadorian jungle.
