The Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest brings a lot of sensations that not so many places in the world will give you with such intensity. There are so many animals, so much nature to appreciate, and the purest air from the whole world! It’s impossible not to visit this paradise.
Despite the fact that Ecuador has one of the shortest percentages of Amazon Rainforest, if compared to other South American countries like Brazil or Peru, it is also true that the Ecuadorian Amazonia has one of the highest percentages of biodiversity per square kilometer! So this is the perfect place for you: you’re going to enjoy a lot looking for rare species just as an experienced expeditioner.
