The Amazon Rainforest, tropical lowlands in the east of Ecuador, covers 45% of the
country’s territory. Known as the greatest ecosystem on earth, it is home to a wide range of plants and animals. |

Many of
the rivers in the Amazon Basin, like Napo, Pastaza, Coca, and Tigre, are
completely navigable, enabling tourists to venture deep into the
Ecuadorian jungle. The Amazon Basin emphasizes strict environmental and
cultural conservation. A minimum of 3 nights/4 days is necessary for a
true jungle experience. |

For a very special rainforest adventure, consider
the virgin Achuar Sanctuary of Kapawi. Situated in the remotest area of
the Ecuadorian Amazon River Basin, Kapawi Ecological Reserve, founded in
1993, reflects a new trend of eco-tourism in South America. Kapawi’s
goal is to give a full jungle experience to visitors while helping the
native Achuar community by providing economic support and respect for
their land and culture. |
