Birdwatching in Ecuador

Ecuador is one of the premiere destinations for birding in the world, with about 1,600 known species in the continental area plus 38 more endemic to the Galapagos Islands.

Our bird watching circuits have been designed under the close supervision of naturalist Paul Greenfield, co-author of the recently published book "The Birds of Ecuador". Come and bird with us!
