The Ecuadorian rainforest is among the most beautiful and diverse on the planet, its rich flora and fauna has made it a sanctuary for hundreds of species that are only found in this zone.

The Amazon region of the equator is very large, running from north to south on the eastern flank, where Peru has its border. Despite having lost much of its territory in the Amazon, Ecuador has and is part of this Area considered the lungs of the planet.

The richness of the Ecuadorian forest is not only flora in fauna, it is also in mineral and cultural resources. Its mineral wealth has been the cause for transnational companies to put it in danger due to the pollution caused. Regarding the cultural richness in the Amazon Region of Ecuador in incalculable.
