                                    In the heart of the tropical humid forest, the park’s territory encompasses overflowing rivers and low plains at the foothills of the Andes. Yasuni National Reserve covers 9,820 square kilometers, or 3,792 square miles.The 9,620-square-kilometer terrain ranges from upland tropical forest to seasonally flooded forest, marshes, swamps, lakes, and rivers.

                                            Yasuní's climate is characterized by warm temperatures (averaging 24–27°C for all months), high rainfall (∼3,200 mm annually), and high relative humidity (averaging 80–94% throughout the year). Yasuní is within the “Core Amazon,” a particularly wet region with high annual rainfall and no severe dry season. The park's elevational range is small (from ∼190 to ∼400 m above sea level), but it is crossed by frequent ridges of 25 to 70 meters . Soils are mostly geologically young, fluvial sediments from erosion of the Andes.

                          Ecuador is a country that is renowned for its diverse fauna that offers birders an array of different endemic species. There is so much to do in the rainforest, with so many tour options, we wanted to share at it's  bestest activities to do in Yasuni National Park. No matter how you chose to explore the area, make sure to check these places out.

1. Morning Voice:


Natural Natural Natural


" wake up with the call of kichu kichu sound instead of borning morning alarms"        

                                 As you explore the lush swaths of rainforest in and around there’s an interesting phenomenon that you will surely come across – the clay licks of the Ecuadorian Amazon. It’s an amazing site at first – hundreds of colorful parrots flocking to these walls of clay and eagerly licking it in an unparalleled display with an notable soundWhen you just cross those lush areas you can hear the voice of your heat with those matching voices of the parrot.With native guides that have a remarkable ear and cunning eye for spotting the numerous species that reside in the forest, you just might come away finding yourself away humbled by their keen skills in identifying and naming them. 

                                  It’s no secret that Panama acts like a refuge for both migratory and native birds. It’s location between two continents makes it a safe and significant channel for migrating birds. The best stay is staying out in the lodge around the jungle to hear the wake up call and wake up with a fresh morning, instead of those boring wakeup. Hundreds of these are scattered all over the Amazon rainforest. You'll get there just before the parrot activity kicks off between 7:30 to 8:30 AM.  Therefore the boat that takes you to the saladero can not get too close to the cliff. We highly recommend you to explore the jungle by taking along a pair of binoculars to get a closer view along with a nice telephoto lens to snap the atmost amazing parrot shots.

                                      " can you just imagine flocks of colorful parrots passing right through the canopy of the tree, Blue-and Yellow flaws  flying by; in nearby trees Spider Monkeys search for fruit, while various species of  birds call in the early mornings and afternoons... the life of the forest canopy opens right in front of you!!"

Surrounded by a 360 degree observation deck, do not worry this platform was design and build to provide maximum safety .It almost goes without saying that the views in this part of the world are exceptional, and from the Canopy Tower's dedicated Observation Deck you'll be offered an intimate, up-close picture of flourishing rainforest life that would be virtually impossible from the ground. 

                               There is also a comfortable range of self-contained Canopy Rooms, and a selection of single rooms with shared facilities.Whichever room you choose, outstanding views are assured. Relax in the comfort of your room, choose a book from the library and claim a hammock, or head to the Observation Deck, set 50 feet above ground, armed with your camera and some fresh coffee!

3. Is pink dolphin exist ?  
             
                  

                                 You would heard of the dolphin which are used up only to whistling sound of their masters but.. you heard of a pink dolphin?  Usually, aquatic mammals are found in the world’s oceans. But there is one aquatic mammal also found in the rivers of the Amazon Rainforest – The Amazon Pink River Dolphin.It is the only dolphin with a flexible head that can move side to side, which is an advantage when navigating through the trees in flooded forests. The pink dolphin also known as Bufos by the marine mammalogists. The pink species range in length from about 2 to 2.5m. Nowadays, unfortunately, the Pink River Dolphin is on the list of endangered species and about to be extinct in Ecuador. Unlike the majority of dolphins, bufeos have a flexible neck and are able to turn 90°.


                                 Are you waiting to see those adorable pink dolphin for the first time the you can take an rejoiced natural trip from those busiest cities! 

                              Visitors on this Amazon Tour into the majestic jungles of the Yasuní will be staying in comfortable wooden eco-lodges, which are furnished with both single and double beds and can accommodate up to three people in one room. All rooms have private bathrooms and hammocks.Passionate nature lovers, picture yourself as king and queen of jungle , exploring the kingdom of weird and wonderful creatures, hidden to the rest of the world. Electricity is available at certain hours of the day; but be prepared to put down the laptop and smartphone in exchange for books and candlelight to the sound of the rainforest.

                              There isn’t a definitive answer to the outstandingly high levels of diversity of life forms encountered in Yasuni. Causes may include the low variation in temperatures, high annual rainfall, it has also been described as an ‘ecological bulls-eye’ due to its location at the base of the Andes, along the Amazon and close to the equator – three distinct ecological systems converging on what is a remarkable and unique area."What makes Yasuní especially important is its potential to sustain this extraordinary biodiversity in the long term," said Dr. Matt Finer


            The Adventure of a lifetime awaits you!
