This mountain range of more than 160 kilometers is located in the southeast of the country, between the provinces of Morona Santiago and Zamora Chinchipe. This mountain range is a well-kept secret. To protect these forests, the Ecuadorian government created four reserves along the mountain range; each responsible for protecting and preserving ecosystems at different altitudes. There are also three biological reserves: El Condor, El Quimi and El Cerro Plateado and Wildlife Refuge: El Zarza. The four areas together protect more than 41,000 hectares of one of the least known areas of Ecuador.

WHY TRAVEL TO ECUADOR?

Indian woman from SalasacasIn South America, Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but the country is hugely diverse in terms of geography, climate and population. You can visit the Andes, the Amazon rainforest as well as the tropical coast without taking extremely long domestic flights or transfers. And then you have the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime experience. The diversity of flora and fauna per square mile is enormous. Ecuador is South America in a nutshell. Moreover, the country is relatively safe and little visited. The national currency is the USD and you have a wide choice of direct flights to Quito and Guayaquil from Europe and the United States.
