The Ecuadorian Amazon is one of the most diverse places on Earth. Located on the eastern side of the country, it is home to unique ecosystems where various endemic animals and plants have made their home in this humid forest. The upper Amazon basin is an area with easy access from major cities that connect the Amazonian town with local roads and are just hours away by car, bus or by plane. The Lower basin is the deeper rain forest and it is only accessible via river travel or by air. Within the several hectares of protected areas, there are tribes that live in the rain forest with their own customs, culture, language, and traditions that have been passed on from past generations and lived in the Amazon for centuries. Being in this remote location brings the opportunity to see first-hand the fauna which consists of more than 150 amphibians, 120 reptile species, 380 fish species, 70,000 insect species, and 595 different birds. The concentration of species is one of the highest in the world within only 62 hectares of the Ecuadorian Rain forest.
