Cloudforest Tours
Mist-shrouded forests, rare birds, and tranquil lodges in Ecuador's highland cloudforest.
Ecuador's cloudforest region sits on the western slopes of the Andes, where cool mountain air meets humid lowland currents. The result is a perpetually green world of moss-draped trees, orchids, hummingbirds, and the resplendent quetzal. Our cloudforest lodge partners range from rustic mid-range cabins to five-star luxury retreats with spa services and guided canopy walks.
