AMAZON REGION

 

The Amazon Jungle covers approximately 45% of Ecuador surface. This region is well-known for its ethnical groups, as well as, for its Flora and Fauna diversity.

 

We invite you to discover the amazing cultural and natural diversity found all along the most important river system of the country, which constitutes the base of an important network of communication between the different communities and settlements.

 

The Northern Jungle is frequent visited by tourists, on the other hand, the Southern Jungle is less visited and less populated too, but it is more interesting for adventure tourism.

 

During jungle tours, you will be delighted by its biological diversity while canoeing along its rivers and hiking along primary and secondary forest, in order to learn more about the way that indigenous groups profit Nature.
