Ecuador Amazon Rainforest Tours and Ecolodges

The Amazon is one of Ecuador’s treasures. Wide winding rivers, the steamy heat of exuberant tropical rainforests, and an abundance of colourful plant and wildlife, is what Tropic’s Amazon is all about. And while only a small part of the Amazon is within Ecuador’s borders, colourful birds abound here and species diversity is off the charts.

 But the Amazon offers more than just exciting wildlife. Here Tropic offers visitors a unique opportunity to share time with people from ancient Amazon forest cultures: the Huaorani, the Secoya and other native people that share and preserve this globally important ecosystem. Here you will see this special world through the eyes of the people that live here, and learn what it means to have the rainforest as a home and have to fight to preserve it.

The site has also been constructed in strict accordance with the Achuar concept of life. It uses not a single metal nail, depends on solar energy, uses biodegradable soaps and has a waste recycling system.

The water comes from natural springs and is purified for use in food preparation and in all other areas of the lodge.
