Nowhere else on the planet is so much diversity concentrated in so little space. Ecuador is four countries in one.

Amazon

The most biodiverse rainforest on the planet. Rivers winding through ancient trees, Kichwa communities, and wildlife that defies imagination. Yasuní National Park — one of the world's highest biodiversity hotspots — is our territory.

Andes & Páramo

The Andean páramo is one of the most unique and threatened ecosystems in the world. Above 3,000 meters, Andean condors soar over snow-capped volcanoes and glacial lakes.

Mangroves that are nurseries of the ocean, humpback whales migrating every year, and a coastline that holds unique marine biodiversity secrets in the equatorial Pacific.
