The Amazon or jungle region of Ecuador, located to the
east of the Andes, is one of the most accessible and traveler-friendly
areas of the upper Amazon basin, the biologically richest area anywhere
on earth. There are innumerable varieties of flora, including many of
Ecuador's 4,500 species of orchids, and many plants with medicinal
value. Hidden Trails’ Ecuador Amazon Tours explore the wilds of
the Amazonian Jungle through a combination of guided canoe and hiking
tours.The Altos Amazon Lodge is easily accessible from Quito and is situated at the edge of the Amazon basin. The La
Selva and Kapawi
jungle lodges offer Amazon vacations in the heart of the Amazon
jungle, 2 hours by canoe from Coca or Shell. These excellent boutique
lodges offer wildlife sightings, hammocks, lake swimming and fishing,
wildlife hikes, canoeing and bird watching. You can also visit the
Butterfly Breeding Farm nearby. Our Canoeing in Cuyabeno Amazon tour is a canoe exploration of the Amazon, which avoids motorized canoes wherever possible so you can truly immerse yourself in the Amazon environment, without motor noise. Let your indigenous guide teach you about the Amazon, and the colorful inhabitants of the Cuyabeno Nature Reserve.
Wildlife such as butterflies, bats, monkeys, sloths, parrots, macaws, river dolphins and caimans are all relatively easy to view. The Ecuadorian Amazon offers a wide range of activities including swimming, canoe journeys, rain forest walks, bird watching, animal spotting and visits to local jungle communities.
The Amazon accounts for little more than 5% of the total population but here there are small communities of Indians such as the Huaorani, Cofan, Shuar, and Siona-Secoya who live in jungle villages and carry on with many of their ancient traditions. The Amazon also has some of the finest white water rafting routes in the country.

The Costa Azul or "the Blue Coast" encompasses the stunning southern stretch of Portugal's west coast.

The mouth of the resident river Rio Sado is a sanctuary of 57,500 acres where you will find that many dolphins play! From here on south, you'll find 36 miles of secluded beaches only interrupted by lovely and calm lagoons and quaint fishing villages. Discover this traveler's jewel region on the back of a handsome, first class Lusitano horse. Ride from the lush and green coastal mountains of Grandola, overgrown with pine and cork-...
