The Ecuadoran Amazon: Why You Should Go

I'm overdue for a post. It's been nearly three weeks, but I've been busy catching up from my last trip, and getting ready for my next one: Ecuador. Why Ecuador you ask? Well, my first thought was to visit the Galapagos, a place that's been on my travel bucket list for awhile, and probably many others. But after doing some research, I decided that I needed to visit the Amazon first. 

Ecuador's Yasuní National Park is considered one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, it’s home to more than 600 bird species, jaguars, pumas, monkeys, caimans and sloths, one of the most adorable creatures on Earth. The chance to see a sloth is what really got me.

Unfortunately this incredible region of the world is seriously threatened due to deforestation, climate change and a number of other factors, which is why it's so important to see it now before it's too late, and do it in a more eco-friendly way.

Many of the jungle lodges are a community initiative or operated with a view to helping the local indigenous communities, like Sani Lodge, which is where I'll be staying.  It's run by the local Sani community deep within the Ecuadoran Amazon between the Cuyabeno Reserve and Yasuni National Park. Profits stays within the community which helps improve  healthcare, education,  and sustainable projects. The eco-lodge also uses pure solar energy, which not only helps limit the impact on the region, but tends to draw a greater abundance of wildlife due to the lack of noise.

Accommodation include meals as well as both day and night hikes, canoe excursions and more. While there is some limited Internet, I likely won't be able to do much more than check emails, so this will be an opportunity to truly relax and get back to nature, for 4 days and 3 nights, a longer period than I've had in years. But when I return to the capital city, Quito, the Monday after Thanksgiving, you can expect an update, and lots of pictures too.

You are very fortunate person because you have all the means to go to any places in the world that you want to see. I also wanted to travel around the world and see the wondrous place that not everyone can go to. I like to go to countries like Thailand, Korea, Japan, Maldives, Greece, Sweden, Brazil and many more. But unfortunately, I can’t because I am one of those who are not lucky enough to get what they want without working so hard. But it’s fine. That is why I’m thankful to someone like you who shares their experience with us during your travels in different countries. It felt like we’ve been here too.

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoy reading about my experiences. However, the reason I am able to travel is because I am working very hard - 12 to 15 hours a day when not traveling and half that or more when I am. With a will, there is a way. Also, it appears you're advertising a writing service for essays - there are many errors on the website you've referred to that you might want to correct if you hope to sell services to correct others writing. Good luck!
