Use the arrows to scroll through the gallery or click for the expanded mode!
DESCRIPTION:
Gleaming hummingbirds, glass frogs, and shimmering insects are waiting to meet your acquaintance in the misty mountains of the western Andes. These tropical rainforests range in elevation from 8,000ft to 3,000ft above sea level and at each of the elevational gradients you'll find an abundance of new species. It's not just the animals though, we'll dive into Ecuador's history, make chocolate, and learn about some of the conservation projects that maintain this pristine forest.

It was a real pleasure to have you guide us through the jungle and cloud forest. I have a new appreciation for bugs and enjoy them much more now. As you said, "ask and the jungle will provide." Keep your enthusiasm.

As an amateur entomologist and serious bug enthusiast, I knew I couldn’t go to Ecuador without a stay in the cloud forest, and Nancy was the perfect tour guide! Passionate, incredibly knowledgeable not only about insects but about cloud forest ecology in general, plus she handled all of the logistics and picked wonderful lodging and restaurants. Thanks Nancy for an incredible tour in this tropical paradise and for making one of my bucket list dreams come true!

Thank you for making my time in Ecuador so great and special (and such a great birthday memory!) Thanks for using your passion and personality for the good of bugs and nature and now my travels! Jungle experiences are definitely better with a jungle woman in the lead =) I will hopefully be back someday, not too long.
