From the humid rainforests of the Amazon basin, up to the windswept paramo grasslands and snow-capped peaks of the high Andes, and all the way down to the Pacific Lowlands, Ecuador offers the best birding anywhere on this planet. The biodiversity of this area is arguably the highest in the world, with more than 1200 bird species recorded from the region. A series of excellent lodges makes this trip a birding delight and accessible to all. Our goal is to see more than 600 bird species during this fabulous avian-rich adventure. We can expect about 50 species of hummingbird, 70 species of tanager, 70 species of flycatcher, macaws, toucans, barbets, cotingas, manakins, secretive antpittas, and many, many more. Along with the birds we'll see plenty of butterflies, mammals and scenery while always being surrounded by beauty, comfort, and warm hospitality. The birds and photo opportunities will be endless!

Mid-summer offers a great all round nature photography experience, from the fantastic landscapes of the Icefields Parkway, said to be the most scenic road on Earth, to amazingly approachable Bighorn Sheep and huge-antlered Elk.
However, Moose and Black Bear might require a longer lens! The flora is fantastic with an abundance of colourful Castillejas, Aquilegias, Tofieldias and many different Habenaria Orchids. Ladies Slipper Orchids and brilliant orange Western Wood Lilies illuminate forests where we'll get close to Clarkís Nutcrackers, tiny Least Chipmunks and Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels. Gray Jays will fly in to feed from your hand, whilst Black-billed Magpies and the lovely Mountain Bluebird will be close by ñ get those cameras ready!
