Our Destination
Ecuador is considered one of the most biodiverse countries in the world (one of the 17th most diverse), due to the high diversity of their natural species. The country has around 23.056 taxonomic species of animals and plants reported, which constitutes the 6,1% of all species reported worldwide. This biodiversity richness is determined by its geographical, atmospheric and climatic location and conditions and represents an important economic and commercial source, especially for the communities living and relying on this mean. Besides that, the country's economy is based on non-renewable resources such as oil, and on traditional agriculture such as the production of bananas, shrimps, cocoa, flowers and fisheries. These activities may endanger the highlighted biodiversity richness of the country, which makes necessary to look for new alternatives on sustainable development that support the protection and conservation of biodiversity in the country. Tourism in small communities is one of the activities that aim to create additional income for those local communities. Eco tourism is an alternative source of income which helps to reduce the pressure on natural resources, for example wood or hunt, and finance measures to protect and conserve the rich biodiversity, around them.
With our visit, we will be able to support and learn about these real conservation efforts and make new friends whom share our passion while being close of many species of birds and immortalize them in images.
