For sheer diversity of birds, Ecuador cannot be beaten. Nowhere else is it as easy to experience such a range of habitats, from the high Andes to the Amazon and Choc? rainforests and those jewels in the ocean, the Gal?pagos Islands. The avifauna is similarly dazzling – a huge range of species, including 41 endemics, call this country home, making Ecuador the ultimate Neotropical wildlife destination.
