The Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest covers nearly one-third of the country, offering unparalleled opportunities to experience the magic of a pristine primary forest. Among its most extraordinary protected areas is Yasuni National Park, which spans 9,800 km² between the Napo and Curaray Rivers.

Located within the Napo moist forests ecoregion, Yasuni was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1989. It is recognized as one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth, hosting some of the world’s richest concentrations of vascular plants. Yasuni is one of only nine locations worldwide with more than 4,000 plant species per 10,000 km², making it a global biodiversity hotspot.

This ancestral territory is also home to the Huaorani people, as well as two uncontacted indigenous groups: the Tagaeri and the Taromenane.

The Ecuadorian Amazon basin not only preserves some of the most pristine primary forests in the world, but also offers one of the best-developed infrastructures for rainforest tourism, allowing visitors to explore its extraordinary natural and cultural heritage.
