Ecuador encompasses a mere 2% of the continent’s rainforest yet boasts a dizzying third of the Amazon’s entire bird species. At the heart of country’s tropics, the Yasuni National park covers 9,820 km² of pristine rainforest and is arguably the most biologically diverse spot on Earth, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1989. Accessed via short hopper flight from Quito, there are a number of excellent lodges along the Napo River. Many are part owned by indigenous communities and provide a rustic yet charming base from which to explore the steamy jungle. Expert native and naturalist guides lead tourists to discover the rich flora and fauna on nature walks, boat-trips and visits to macaw clay-licks. Further afield, remote tribes have opened up simple tented camps and offer visitors the unique opportunity of experiencing the forest through the eyes of its original inhabitants.

All went very well to plan. We felt the impact of the number of flights to get to places – 7 in all – but that is obviously necessary in Myanmar and to get to both Myanmar and Cambodia (and we knew this). All guides and drivers were on time and excellent.
