Wildlife Tours in Ecuador

Wildlife tours in Ecuador not only take in the fascination of the Amazon rainforest and its beautiful cloud forests but also the world-famous Galapagos Islands. There can be no other area quite so high on a wildlife watcher’s wishlist than these unique islands.

Ecuador is one of the most species-rich countries in the world and is often referred to as a ‘megadiversity hotspot’. The country has a wealth ecosystems and habitats, and many nature reserves and national parks. These provide visitors on a wildlife tour in Ecuador with the ideal opportunity to spot unique mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects easily.

For birders, a trip to the Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve is a must. That is where you can experience a Cock-of-the-Rock lek or track down the Green-crowned Woodnymph Hummingbird or its cousin, the White-bellied Woodstar. Then there are the antpittas – the Giant, Yellow-breasted, Moustached and Ochre-breasted to name but a few. The forests are a birding heaven.

Alternatively, take a short flight from either Ecuador’s capital city, Quito, or its commercial capital, Guayaquil, to join a wildlife cruise around the Galapagos. You can visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn about the conservation work being carried out on the islands. And you can marvel at the Giant Tortoises, Galapagos Penguins and Marine Iguanas. It will be like being in your own personal wildlife documentary!
