January 27, 2019(3 events) East of the Andes: Ecuador's AmazonEast of the Andes: Ecuador's AmazonJanuary 16, 2019 Jan 16th - 27th -With its equatorial latitude and several distinct climates, Ecuador offers an amazing variety of birdlife: over 1,600 species, about 20 percent of the world's numbers - more diversity in less space than any other country in the world. The Ecuadorian Amazon is mainly tropical rainforest elevated 1,300 feet above sea level. White its borders contrain a mere slice of the Amazon, its rainforest is diverse, with quiet blackwater lagoons, raging chocolately rivers, dense tree canopies, and flooded forests. As a general rule, the farther you travel from civilization and roads, the more wildlife you'll see. The tour starts in Quito, crosses the Andes, and reaches remote areas of pristine Amazon habitats.
