SAMAY ADVENTURESOverview
Journey from Quito to the Heart of the Ecuadorian Rainforest
Historically, Quito was the legendary starting point for Spanish conquistadors on their quest for «El Dorado,» the mythical city of gold. Led by Francisco de Orellana in the 16th century, these expeditions eventually led to the accidental discovery of the Amazon River. Today, we know the real treasure of this region isn’t gold, but its unparalleled mega-biodiversity and the wisdom of its indigenous ethnic nations.
SAMAY ADVENTURESNowhere else on Earth
Nowhere else on Earth do the sky, earth, and water blend so dramatically as in the Amazon Jungle. This vast ecosystem, stretching across 6 million square kilometers, is a biological powerhouse. It is home to over 2.5 million insect species, 10,000 types of plants, and one in five of the world’s bird species. In the dense canopy and winding rivers, travelers can spot the largest South American mammals, alongside hundreds of unique reptiles and amphibians.
“Nowhere else on Earth do the sky, earth, and water blend so dramatically as in the Amazon Jungle.”
