Ecuadorian Amazon

May 23rd, 2008

By simply heading east, the traveller can arrive in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt regions of Ecuador. The Ecuadorian Amazon is one of the most easily accessible jungle zones in South America and is a haven for nature-lovers. Much of the rainforest remains unexplored and is only sparsely populated with indigenous settlements along the tributaries of the great rivers. There is, however, also a well-developed tourist infrastructure which aims to provide visitors with the comfort and safety that they need, while at the same time consciously preserving the natural habitat.

These tropical lowlands in the east of Ecuador represent 45% of the country’s territory. The dense primary forest is one of the earth’s greatest ecosystems and is the home of an incredible diversity of fauna, including howler monkeys, caimans, jaguars, freshwater dolphins and over 700 species of birds and flora such as rare and beautiful orchids and the immense ceiba tree.
