With over 1,550 species of birds already recorded within its various ecosystems (tropical rainforest, cloud forest, high-altitude paramo, and coastal mangroves to name a few) Ecuador is one of the planet’s most biodiverse nations.

To date, nearly 1,600 unique bird species have been observed and recorded in Ecuador and each day more species are added to the list. This is twice the number of birds recorded in North America and three times as many as are known to exist in all of Europe.

Moreover, Ecuador’s small size and well-developed transportation system make getting to the various habitats of these birds quite easy and affordable. Accordingly, Ecuador is one of the world’s most impressive destinations for bird watching and a tour is a must for anyone interested in birding.

Bird watching trips are available for one or more days to a number of excellent bird watching destinations - Pasochoa Reserve, located an hour from Quito; Mindo Nambillo Protected Forest, Boliche Recreational area, Cotopaxi National Park; and La Perla, a protected forest on the coast.
