Ecuador – A Dream for Nature Lovers

Ecuador is a small country with an excellent infrastructure and all places can be easily accessed. It contains various habitats for birders as you can find the Pacific Coast beaches, the Andes Mountains, and a portion of the world’s largest rainforest, so called Amazonia.With over 1500 bird species recorded, Ecuador offers more bird-diversity than any other country in the world, thanks to its great diversity in habitats. In this 11 nights/12 days Birding Holiday we will stay in the subtropical zones on the lower slopes of the Andes. These zones are almost as bird species rich as the lowland zones, and some bird groups – hummingbirds and tanagers for example – reach their maximum diversity here.

The western subtropical zone is an easy zone to do bird watching, with good forest remaining alongside the roads. The eastern subtropics are less well-known, but even more bio diverse than the subtropics of the west. The eastern subtropics feature amazing tanagers and hummingbirds. The eastern subtropics are also a good place to see the Crested Quetzal and Torrent Duck. The temperate faunal zone with its cloud forests, covered in mosses and bromeliads are extraordinarily beautiful, and have their share of exciting birds. Above the forested slopes of the Andes lies a rolling grassland called “paramo.” Here the birds are refreshingly easy to see and quite distinct from those of other zones. This is the place to search the sky for Andean Condor and on the ground for Andean Snipe and Tawny Antpitta.

To visit a completely different habitat it really is worth to book the extension of 5 nights/6 days. This will bring you to one of the very best lodges in the Amazonia de Ecuador. Days will be filled with birding walks, boat rides and observing birds from one of the Canapy towers. A superb experience

Reserving your place is both easy and inexpensive!

Many people, already being in Ecuador, extend their stay with a visit to the wonderful Galapagos Islands. We can organise this for you t00
