The most wildlife-rich section of Amazonia, more species of animals and plants have been found in Ecuador’s rainforest than anywhere else in the Amazon Rainforest.
The majority of the world records in wildlife were set in Yasuni National Park, which is the jewel in the crown of Ecuador’s rainforest. This park protects around 1 million hectares of tropical forest and all its wildlife. Even the private reserves of the recommended Sacha Lodge and La Selva Eco Lodge and Retreat benefit from this incredible container of wildlife, as animals and plant seeds can cross over to these private rainforest sanctuaries.
Offering a fantastic experience, enjoy exploring the rainforest on trail walks, canoe tours, and even canopy towers and walkways.
Enjoy spotting several different monkeys, toucans, macaws, colorful parrots, delicate orchids, giant forest trees, and even head out of a night to see the nocturnal animals.
