Ecuador compresses an extraordinary range of landscapes into a remarkably small country, from Pacific lowlands and cloud forests across the high Andes to the headwaters of the Amazon Basin. Dramatic changes in elevation create an equally remarkable diversity of habitats and wildlife. These pages follow my journeys across Ecuador, exploring its birds, landscapes, people, and the experiences that have made this one of the most memorable places I have visited.
There’s so much more to discover across Ecuador! From the misty cloud forests of the western Andes and the dramatic landscapes of the high mountains to the lush eastern slopes and the extraordinary rainforests of the Amazon Basin, every region offers its own remarkable encounters with nature. The Ecuador Stories Archive brings together my complete collection of stories, field observations, and photographic experiences from across the country.
