As you fly east from Quito the mountain ranges give way to lowland primary rainforest. Viewed from the air, the landscape is a carpet of green with the occasional blue ribbon of water flowing through it. Covering much of Ecuador’s eastern territory, the Amazon Rainforest is the world’s most impressive jungle system.

A number of lodges have been established deep in the rainforest allowing you an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in this tropical wilderness. Jungle activities will usually include guided walks, observation from aerial walkways or towers, canoe safaris and visits to local indigenous tribes.
