Quito, Ecuador (PRWEB) March 15, 2014
Ecuador is world famous for Old Colonial Quito, the first city to be declared world heritage site by UNESCO, The Galapagos Islands, and the Andes Mountains, the world's longest mountain range. This rich biodiverse region contains over 1,600 species of birds, a world record of 132 species of hummingbirds, more than 4,000 species of butterflies & orchids, 65 volcanoes, 50 different eco-systems, and 17 distinctive ethnic Indian groups.
The greatest challenge for anyone visiting Ecuador is how to see and experience as much biodiversity and culture as possible in the time allotted. San Jorge Eco-Lodges and Nature Reserves Packages meet that challenge! Visitors stay in a network of five eco-lodges which are strategically located in five private nature reserves among the nine different climate steps. Accommodations include San Jorge Eco-Lodge in Quito, San Jorge de Tandayapa Hummingbird Sanctuary in the Cloud Forest, San Jorge de Milpe Orchid & Bird Reserve in the Tropical Rainforest, San Jorge de Cosanga-Yanayacu Bird & Wildlife Refuge in the East Andes Slope. Each eco-lodge and reserve is within two hours of Quito and is a paradise with beautifully carved pristine trails, where nature lovers can enjoy everything that Ecuador has to offer and help protect, conserve birds and wildlife in the country.
