Such geographical context has allowed the evolution of an astonishing number of avian species. Approximately 1600 species have been recorded, occuring within and in between the Gal pagos, Choco, Tumbes, Napo and North Andean endemic centers.
Most sites support the interesting convergence of endemic, resident and migratory species.
By comparison to other birding destinations, Ecuador provides not only ornithological richness but also other fascinating features of natural and cultural order. Political stability and an increased awareness of sustainable development and biodiversity conservation contribute to the emergence of environmentally sound projects. In order to maximize the joy of birding, groups are limited to eight participants. All of our guides have extensive experience in the field. Apart from such qualification, they have an understanding of local culture, and, due to their research projects, they can always provide information about birding sites and their ecological context.
