The
Ecuadorian part is particularly beautiful and some of the disadvantages
of other parts of Amazonia, such as not being able to swim in the
water, are not applicable here. The Amazon's river, lakes, streams
and marshlands support over 600 species of fish and more than 250
species of amphibians and reptiles. Over 100 species of trees have
been discovered per acre and if you are lucky you may see typical
South American mammals including armadillos, honey bears, sloths,
tapirs, many different types of monkeys, boars, ocelots (jaguars),
and in the lagoons you may see manatees and caymans. Our lodges
are located deep into the jungle and due to this the chance of seeing
these animals is greater than on most other lodges throughout the
Amazon jungle.
