Ecuador Amazon Rainforest

Ecuador's rainforest is located in the heart of the World's largest tropical rainforest, the Amazon Basin, a unique ecosystem.

1. Manatee Amazon Explorer The Manatee operates from the heart of the Ecuadorean Amazonia, at Orellana Province. We start our operation from the city of Coca, a bus ride of some 8 hours from Quito; or by plane, a short an scenic 30 minute flight from Quito. A canoe will be taken at the dock for an hour navigation until arriving where the Manatee is awaiting for you.     2. Napo Wildlife Center The Napo Wildlife Center, NWC Amazon Lodge, is the greatest alternative luxury eco hotel in Amazonian Ecuador. This ecotourism project includes the conservation of approximately over 82 square miles (53,500 acres - over 21,400 hectares ) of the most pristine Amazon Rain Forest within the Yasunì National Park, an important UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the largest tract of tropical rain forest in Ecuador.     3. Sacha Lodge Imagine yourself drifting down a narrow, winding creek surrounded by a lush, endless, sea of tropical greenery; and all that separates you from the deep black Amazon waters is a canoe hand-carved out of a single tree trunk. As you maneuver around a bend something unidentified crashes off into the underbrush, and you catch a glimpse of two magnificent Blue and Yellow Macaws startled into flight.

Ecuador Amazon rain forest tours

Ecuador's rainforest is located in the heart of the World's largest tropical rainforest, the Amazon Basin, a unique ecosystem.

Enjoy environmentally conscious programs, in the safety and comfort of reliable operators and experienced naturalist guides. Explore the rain forest on treks on terra firme forest beneath the gigantic Amazon trees, along boardwalks crossing palm swamps and up observation towers for a close look at the forest canopy.

Share and learn the way of life of remote yet friendly and outstanding indigenous cultures.
