The best way to connect with Ecuador is, undoubtedly, by walking in its vibrant rainforest. The variety of plants, exotic insects, and vibrant birdlife is unmatched, but the highlight of the walk is observing the Ceibo tree - one of the Amazon’s largest and most sacred giants. Indigenous people use the forest’s resources for medicine, food, and shelter.

This short but rich hike offers a perfect introduction to the magic and mystery of the Amazon rainforest.
