Ecuador is located on the northwestern coast of South America, between Peru to the south/east and Colombia to the north. The famous Galapagos Islands belong to Ecuador, and are located approximately 1,000 kilometers off the coast.
Ecuador is crossed from north to south by the Andes, which divides its continental territory in three big regions, generally known as Costa (Western Lowlands), Sierra (Andes) and Oriente (Amazon). These three regions are no more than a 30 minute flight from each other and at a maximum of eight hours by car, which makes its possible to see dramatic changes in the landscape and sensations in a very short period of time.

Of these, 470 species live on the Napo river basin alone. 415 amphibian species, of which 60% are endemic. 394 reptilian species and 369 mammalian species, 30% are endemic. Each year, many new species are discovered, especially amphibians.
