Ecuador's mystical transition zone
The enchanting cloud forest is nestled amid tumbling hills in a region where the Andean highlands cascade down to the Pacific coastline.
Here, in the Chocó bioregion, a breathtaking landscape extends from Panama through Colombia and into Ecuador, offering a haven for incredible biodiversity and abundant wildlife.
This unique cloud forest experience awaits just a few hours northwest of Quito, Ecuador's capital. Far from the hustle and bustle, visitors can trade the urban clamour for the mesmerising flora and fauna of one of the country's most biodiverse regions. The Chocó area is a thriving bioregion, supporting ecosystems crucial to thousands of species.
Ecuador, perhaps not immediately associated with cloud forest exploration, offers an unparalleled and delightfully exclusive experience in this hidden paradise. Home to over 500 bird species including hummingbirds, tanagers, and toucans, thousands of orchid varieties, diverse mammals, and vibrant reptiles, this nature lover's haven unveils its wonders through day and night walking trails. Keep an eye out for the elusive spectacled bear, an endangered species that occasionally inhabits these forests
Beyond the allure of captivating wildlife, the cloud forest landscapes offer a playground for adventure enthusiasts. Climb observation towers for panoramic views, swim beneath cascading waterfalls, glide along canopy zip lines, and dart through mountain bike trails. Ecuador's cloud forests provide endless opportunities to immerse yourself in breathtaking surroundings and create memories of thrilling exploration and natural beauty.
