Ecuador Birding Tours Tour Selection Trips

Ecuador is one of the best places for birding, especially in the Amazon and Galapagos. Most tours to the Galapagos are self contained, but if you have more time, there are some tours that also incorporate the mainland sights as well.
Birding tours are a great way to meet fellow birding enthusiasts. You’ll be around the same group every day so it’s the perfect opportunity for sharing stories and photography tips.
Bring a light log. For serious photographers, this is essential for keeping track of your settings in order to improve or replicate great shots.
