The Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest:
As far as the eyes can see

Ecuador boasts the most accessible Amazon Basin in all of South America, with a mere 30-minute plane ride to frontier towns that will serve as a springboard for your Amazonian adventures. For the most part, travel is organized along the Amazon River’s major tributaries, on motorboats and dugout canoes.

The Amazon Rainforest

The lushness present throughout the region is mind-blowing, with tall forests that reach heights of over 50 meters. Within lies the most complex and intricate network of life our planet holds, and many biological and environmental studies suggest that it is here, in this very specific northwestern edge of the Amazon, where biodiversity is greatest worldwide.

These legendary jungles have been off-limits to most of modern civilization. But what if we told you that you can experience the extremely pristine, natural realm of the Amazon Basin not only in all its grace but in all comfort as well. And what’s more, by doing so, you’ll be helping to preserve one of the world’s most special and valuable ecosystems, considered to be the “lungs” of our planet…

First-tier Amazon jungle lodges offer the best of both worlds: they provide visitors the jungle just as it is, and do so in cozy, well-appointed accommodations, with all your creature comforts at hand and first-class service.

When to travel?

In the Amazon Basin, temperatures are high, but local architecture using bamboo and featuring high thatched palm-leaf roofs promotes ventilation, which keeps interiors pleasant. Breezes coming in from rivers and lagoons also help to cool things off. In the Amazon, there is a lot of precipitation all year long, through rain can subside. Usually, the wettest months fall between March and September.

Exploring one of the world’s most emblematic ecosystems never fails to deliver experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. You will walk beneath sky-scraping kapok trees with buttress roots that rise well above your head, listening to the chatter of monkeys and the clamor of blue and gold macaws high up in the gallery.

Never-ending display of wildlife

The Lure of the Amazon

You will navigate on black-water lakes and along streams, enveloped in what is probably nature’s most glorious soundtrack. Paradise certainly seems at hand.

You can climb to the top of natural observation towers and peer out into the distance like an eagle or stand behind a blind and witness thousands of multicolored parrots swarming at salt-clay licks… yes, thousands!
