Ecuador
A living, breathing wilderness where life never stops.
The Amazon Rainforest is the beating heart of our planet—a vast, untamed wilderness stretching across Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and beyond. Here, jaguars prowl, macaws streak across the sky, and ancient rivers carve through emerald canopies. Home to more species than anywhere else on Earth, this is a land of mystery, where sloths hang lazily in the trees, pink river dolphins glide through the waters, and shamans still whisper secrets of the jungle.
Whether navigating its labyrinth of waterways, walking beneath towering ceiba trees, or listening to the symphony of life after dark, the Amazon stirs the soul and awakens the wild within.
