A close encounter with monkeys in the Amazon Jungle – Ecuador
Imagine waking up in the morning surrounded by green lush forest, gorgeous scenic views and the sound of nature! Then you peek through your window to find out that you have a monkey climbing up the tree right in front of you.
This and many other unforgettable experiences await you at Yasuni in the Ecuadorian amazon jungle.
The amazon jungle of Ecuador is considered a world icon, housing around 2.5 million species of flora and fauna, thousands of plants and the highest diversity of plants in the world. So monkeys are just some of the species you will be able to encounter or admire from a distance during your visit.
Yasuní is one of the most diverse places on earth, with some unparalleled biological richness. The special location in the Equator, the Andes and the Amazon Rainforest make this a unique place when it comes to diversity.
If you are in South America I would love to see your pictures.
“Considered together, the Yasuní herpetofauna—271 species of amphibians and reptiles—is the most diverse assemblage ever documented on a landscape scale” Plos.org
I hope that this short video gives you some inspiration! Start planning your trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. You can also get a close encounter with magnificent wildlife.
