Pacific Coast, Andes Mountains, Amazonia, Galapagos: 4 worlds in a country half the size of France.
Because it contains some of the richest biodiversity on the planet, in a small territory, Ecuador is particularly popular with nature lovers.
Six major regions contain highly varied landscapes and biotopes:
- the Andean Sierra, with its numerous volcanoes;
- the Pacific coast, which alternates sandy beaches and lush forests;
- the Chocó and its dense and enigmatic cloud forests;
- the semi-desert Tumbesian region in the south;
- the Amazon with its nature reserves and numerous rivers;
- and finally the legendary Galapagos archipelago.
Professional nature travelers based in Ecuador, Xavier Amigo and Pierre Ferron take us to observe the iconic wildlife, both tiny and giant (bears, spider monkeys, frogs, humpback whales, manta rays), and in particular the countless bird species, to approach volcanoes, and to unearth orchids and epiphytic plants in the forest. Exploring the Galapagos, in the footsteps of Darwin and Melville, is an important part of the journey, where we will encounter whale sharks and hammerhead sharks, iguanas, turtles, sea lions, penguins, and boobies in settings reminiscent of the beginning of the world.
They are committed to highlighting not only the natural treasures of this country they have made their own, but also its cultural richness, also extremely diverse, marked by the Inca influence and the hospitality of the Ecuadorian population.
A collection intended for lovers of the great outdoors,whether simply contemplative, sporty or photographers.
Nature travel professionals guide them to the best sites to observe fauna, flora and landscapes in the most favorable conditions.
