Let Vía Natura be your guide through the amazing natural
wonders that Ecuador has to offer. The enormous biodiversity in
the four regions of this country, has given way to thousands of
species of flora and fauna among rough untouched land. Ecuador
is home to approximately 1640 kinds of birds, of which 500 live
in the Mindo-Nambillo woodland reserve, north-west of Quito. There
are about 4500 species of butterflies, 345 of reptiles, 358 of
amphibians and 258 of mammals, to name but a few. So it is not
without reason that Ecuador is considered one of the planet’s
top 17 countries in biodiversity. However, if you consider the
country’s total number of species and its land extension,
Ecuador is indeed the most biodiverse country in the globe. From
north to south and east to west, there are National Parks such
as Cotopaxi, Sangay and Machalilla. Snow-capped mountains, lakes
and beaches are set among more than 20 areas protected by the
State, whilst dozens of woodland areas make up vast green belts.
We will show you some of the destinations that you could not
forget…all in just one little country!!!
