The Love Song of the Humpback Whale
They've come a long way since March: majestic humpback whales begin a long exodus from Antarctica to the crystal blue oceans off the coast of Ecuador. By June, the long voyage in search of a mate has ended. For the next several months, these gentle giants - which can reach lengths of 15 meters or more - are doing what they can to get the attention of a potential mate. Leaping effortlessly out of the water, all the while singing love songs, the humpback whale is on a mission. And the great thing about this pastoral scene: you can be right in the middle of it all! Camera in hand and so close you'll be tempted to reach out and caress a massive fin.

Bird Watching in Clouds - Ecuador
Bird watching has always been a low-maintenance-yet-thoroughly enjoyable sport. A pair of binoculars and a field guide and you're all set!

In fact, you don't need to travel to some far off corner of the jungle to reap the benefits of Ecuador bird watching; you can see a large number of our feathered friends just a few hours away from Quito.

NAPO Wildlife Center in Ecuador
Get ready for the stuff dreams are made of: the silence of the rainforest is shattered by the screech of white-tipped capuchin monkeys, squirrels and parrots. Giant otters swim just out of reach as you paddle down the Napo River lying right outside your room.
