Wild & Colourful Ecuador
Begin your morning among iridescent hummingbirds in the Andean cloud forest and end your day beneath an Amazon sunset. An immersive expedition with hand-picked locations for visual impact and wildlife density.
Ecuador · Andes & Amazon · 12 days
In this remarkable 'country of four worlds', you can begin your morning surrounded by the iridescent shimmer of hummingbirds in the Andean cloud forests and end your day beneath a blazing sunset over the vast Amazon rainforest.
This 12-day immersive photographic expedition has been meticulously designed for maximum creative opportunity. Every location is hand-picked for its visual impact, wildlife density and unique behaviour, ensuring you return home not only with extraordinary images but with a deeper understanding of Ecuador's diverse ecosystems.
Our carefully selected lodges place us close to prime wildlife locations, while locally prepared cuisine and expert naturalist guidance ensure a seamless and enriching experience throughout. From mist-draped cloud forests to the heart of the Amazon basin, this journey blends comfort, access and authentic wilderness immersion.
In the Andean cloud forests, we seek intimate views of the spectacular Andean Cock-of-the-rock during lek displays, alongside dazzling encounters with dozens of hummingbird species at eye level. As we move into the Amazon basin, scenic canoe journeys along the legendary Napo River bring us deep into pristine rainforest.
We photograph from canopy towers, witness the unforgettable spectacle of parrot clay licks, and search for giant otters, caimans and multiple species of monkey in their natural habitat.
This is far more than a wildlife trip. It is a fully immersive photographic experience in some of the planet's most breathtaking natural environments. With expert guides, private transport and meals included, you are free to focus entirely on creativity, connection and discovery.
