More than 2,000 species of trees and shrubs, 204 species of mammals, 610 species of birds, 121 species of reptiles, 150 of amphibians and more than 250 species of fish.
In a single hectare of the Yasuní, 650 tree species were reported, which represents more than those found in all of North America. There are trees that can reach up to 50 meters in height and 1.5 meters in diameter. In addition to their extraordinary size, some such as ceibos, hen blood and cinnamon trees, form huge roots that open in a triangle at the base of the tree.
Our activity programs are designed to fully enjoy the environment of each tour and activity.
The richness of amphibian, bird, mammal and vascular plant species makes Yasuní the most significant biodiversity reserve in South America. Although the data vary over the years, the investigations reveal a close idea of the extraordinary biodiversity that the Yasuní National Park harbors.
Each of these groups preserves its own culture, which makes the Yasuní, not only a mega-diverse place, but also the cradle of various nationalities and ancestral knowledge. The following describes each of them
Yasuní National Park is located in the center-east of the Amazon region and is the largest protected area in continental Ecuador. It was created on July 26, 1979 and has an area of 1,022,736 hectares which houses an important natural and cultural heritage. It is considered one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, which is why it has been scientifically qualified as a Pleistocene Refuge.
Within its territory and area of influence inhabit the Waorani, Kichwa, Shuar indigenous nationalities and the Tagaeri and Taromenane ethnic groups, who live in voluntary isolation, as well as settlers who have immigrated from different parts of the country. The PNY, together with the Tagaeri -Taromenane Intangible Zone (ZITT) and the Waorani territory, was declared by UNESCO in 1989 as a Biosphere Reserve.
The Yasuní tropical rainforest is a privileged place in relation to other regions of the planet. Due to a combination of geographical, geological, meteorological and historical factors, the Yasuní rainforests are considered the most biodiverse and richest on the planet. There is no other region in the world that offers the necessary conditions for such a vast and complex development of life.
