Wildlife Tours in Ecuador

Darwin Finches on Galapagos Trip

On wildlife and nature Ecuador tours, you will be visiting a biodiversity hotspot nestled in the northwest of South America. While the renowned Galapagos Islands steal the spotlight, Ecuador's lush Amazonian rainforest and mystical cloud forests also promise extraordinary encounters with captivating ecosystems. Looking at our global wildlife holidays, you will see that the Galapagos and the Ecuador mainland provide experiences to match anywhere in the world.

Best Galapagos Trips

The Galapagos Islands allow you to witness firsthand the extraordinary creatures that played a pivotal role in shaping Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution. The marine iguanas of the Galapagos are a living example of how species can adapt to the harshest of environments. These remarkable reptiles have evolved to forage in both land and sea, with specialized glands that expel excess salt ingested while feeding on underwater algae. The Galapagos finches, often dubbed "Darwin's finches," are iconic symbols of evolutionary theory. These small birds exhibit a striking array of beak shapes, each finely tuned to exploit specific food sources available on their respective islands.

Meanwhile, the flightless cormorants of the Galapagos tell a tale of evolution's trade-offs. With stunted wings and strong legs, these birds have become exceptional divers while losing the ability to soar through the skies.

Ecotours in Ecuador

When your Ecuador wildlife trip takes you back to the mainland, the country’s Amazon rainforest unveils a world of unparalleled biodiversity. Skilled guides reveal hidden treasures, leading you through dense foliage to spot sloths, capuchin monkeys, pink river dolphins, anacondas, and the colourful plumage of tropical birds.

Ecuador is also known for its cloud forests, shrouded in mist, and teeming with life. They offer a different kind of wildlife adventure, where rare orchids and epiphytes adorn towering trees, and elusive creatures like the Andean spectacled bear and the mystical quetzal make appearances.

See our Ecuador trips if you want to see more of the cultural side of the country, including stays in Quito and Cuenca. However, Ecuador ecotours are the key to unlocking the country’s rich biodiversity. Seasoned naturalists and expert guides lead the way, sharing their knowledge and insights into the behaviours, habitats, and conservation efforts of the incredible species you encounter. With safety and sustainability at the forefront, these tours offer access that leaves a minimal ecological footprint, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at Ecuador's wildlife.
