The Amazon Rainforest, recognized worldwide as the “the last and major oxygen pump” of the planet, can be easily accessed through the Ecuadorian Lands. Only 3 and ½ hours drive from Quito, lies the entrance to a new frontier of discovery and adventure. It is this convenience that has made Ecuador the starting point of thousands of tourists in their voyage to the area with the greatest bio-diversity in the entire planet.

According to the records, 25,000 species of birds, 3,500 kinds of orchids and countless varieties of insects live in the entire Amazon ecosystem, making the area a heaven for experienced bird watchers and ornithologists.
While in the Amazon, you can trek through primary or secondary forests while encountering monkeys, colorful serpents or giant spiders. Or perhaps be amazed by wondering armadillos, watchful “cocks of the rock” or the timid “spectacle bear.”

You can also visit ancestral Indian villages, where the West is unknown. There, discover how native tribes have lived for over a thousand years, using the Amazon’s resources without tipping the ecological equilibrium of the forest.
