As we make our way back to Coca for our flight to Quito, we wanted to leave you with an understanding of the incredible wildlife in this area.
The last few days have been eye-opening and educational. We loved every minute of our time here. La Selva Ecolodge isn’t a zoo or an amusement park. It is the real deal. The area surrounding the lagoon is teaming with life and this is their home. We were merely guests here. Even though we were told several times that wildlife sightings aren’t guaranteed, we were very fortunate to see so much during our stay.
The Amazon is wild and untamed, some creatures can actually kill you, but with great guides, jungle friendly insect repellent and a pair of rubber boots, you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the the rainforest. If the Amazon region isn’t yet on your list to visit, you have to add it.
Our naturalist guide shared with us some photos he had taken of some (but not all) of the wildlife we encountered and told us we could share them. We also took so many photos we couldn’t post them all, so we added them to the end of the video. We hope you enjoy it.
We are in Ecuador for another 15 days. This country is incredible. If you are interested in a trip to Ecuador, we can help you plan it.
Great pics! So enjoying your travels.
