ECUADOR AND THE AMAZON
BIRD AND WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY EXPEDITION
Travel deep into the Amazonian rainforest of Ecuador to experience unparalleled species diversity, unique wildlife, and stunning habitats.
Flying from Quito to our river launch point, we then travel to a luxurious jungle lodge amidst the species-rich primary rainforest on the Napo River in the Amazon Basin of eastern Ecuador.
Local native guides enhance the knowledge base, while gourmet meals prepared by seasoned chefs add comfort and luxury to this trip.
Photography instruction is given in-field, with Amazonian birds and animals in our viewfinders. Nightly photo-critique sessions analyze how well we applied the photographic theories learned earlier in the day from our personalized custom curriculum.
Daily easy trail hikes, visits to an extraordinary canopy walk, a tree tower, parrot nutrient licks, and stable dugout canoe excursions make up the core of our trip. Numerous species of monkeys, forest animals, colorful birds, and reptiles are our target species.
