Ecuador Jungle Adventure Tours
To discover the remote and protected areas of the Amazon will undoubtedly be an unforgettable adventure in your life. The Amazon rainforest ecosystem offers a wide variety of flora (more than 25,000 different sorts of plants) and fauna. You can find many different species of palms, orchids, trees, vines as well as exotic animals such as crocodiles, river turtles, pink dolphins, monkeys and a diversity of birds like macaws, toucans, hoatzins and many others, which present themselves frankly for bird watching. With a little bit of luck you can even see rare animal species like ocelots, sloths, tapirs, anacondas, Amazon River dolphins, jaguars or even harpy eagles on your expedition.
Our programs offer a broad spectrum of jungle excursions from "luxury" lodges to expeditions in tents. In both cases we, as a tour operator, pay close attention to the organization of the tours. We provide multilingual naturalist guides, who know the Amazon jungle best and who will explain to you all the secrets of the mysterious jungle, as well as native guides who are born in the jungle and know every corner of it. The size of the groups is between six and ten people. The groups are kept small in order to keep the impact of tourism as low as possible.
