The Ecuadorian Amazon covers a vast area east of the Andes, and the rainforest is home more species of plant and mammal than any area of similar size.
One hectare of rainforest contains many varieties of trees (some reaching 40 metres in height) and hundreds of plants. The forest is home to an astonishing repertoire of wildlife: 15% of the world’s bird species, including harpy eagle, blue-and-yellow macaw, cobalt-winged parakeet, oropendolas and tanagers. Among more than 100 species of mammal are three-toed sloth, black-mantled tamarin, nine-banded armadillo, capybara, agouti, coati, tapir, and the enigmatic jaguar.
The rivers, streams and lakes are home to two species of freshwater dolphin, four species of caiman and over 300 species of fish. And that’s not to mention the ten species of monkey, 1,000 species of butterfly and innumerable exotic flowers! Access to the different Amazon regions is via small and unremarkable towns largely developed since the 1970s in the search for oil.
