The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve lies in the northeastern corner of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest. It is a biodiversity hotspot, home of one of the world’s greatest concentrations of distinct animal and plant species.
A complex system of alluvial formations, 13 lagoons, rivers and flooded forest makes up the 603,000 ha site, recording some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world.
One highlight of any once-in-a-lifetime visit to Ecuador's stunning rainforest region are the flooded forests of Igapo at the heart of the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve
