ALL 59 ECUADOR NATIONAL PARKS AND NATURE RESERVES

All 59 National Parks of Ecuador

When studying the Amazon of Ecuador in the 1980s, world famous botanist, Dr. Gentry, discovered the greatest number of plant species per hectare in the world, which made Ecuador the country with the highest biodiversity in the world.

In fact, a United Nations team - including the Parks and Tribes board members Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil, aca the "Parks Man Daan and Dr. Flavio Coello - selected 39 Ecuador national parks (see here the original report: United Nations Study by the FAO). As there was no information on ecosystem and hardly any information on species distribution, we used criteria such as distribution of virgin forests and elevation levels, hoping to compose a representative protected areas system. Dr. Gentry's research and studies of many other biologists since then, confirmed that we did it right. In the course of the years, the protected areas system grew to include even more ecosystems and species, now protecting 59 areas covering almost 20% of the territory of Ecuador.

Spread across the country, these areas are found in totally different climate zones and elevations, protecting breathtaking landscapes, fascinating wildlife, cloud forests in the Andes, rainforests in the Amazon, and at the coast, mangroves and cactus-clad dry forests.

The National Parks System of Ecuador has 59 protected areas of different categories. Check our scoring table for beauty, access & wildlife.

Biodiversity of Ecuador Scoring System

While Ecuador has various different types of management categories, in reality, all these areas are equally important, and we consider them all national parks. Some national parks - which among other things are for the enjoyment of the people - are difficult to get into, while some of the reserves are so accessible and beautiful, that they should really be a national park. With so many parks and reserves to chose from, what really matters to you is which ones are the best. Below you can see the map with all the areas. For more information click here for:

The Scoring System

To make a selection to which areas you may want to visit, we gave a scoring to the areas, so that you may have an idea what could be important areas for you to visit. The scoring is from 1 - 5; the latter being very good, while comparing between these areas in Ecuador, in order to distinguish among them.

While most areas are scenic, some stand out for dramatic landscapes that are not found as abundantly in the other areas. All areas with snow-caped mountains have scored high. Tropical low-land areas score high if there are lakes from where birds and other wildlife can be watched. Access scores a 5 if there is very convenient road-access to good trails or well-organized access over water that can be easily contracted. Ecological importance is based on worldwide rarity of the ecosystem and/or species diversity. Overnight facilities score high if in or very nearby the port of access of an area lodging is available, within an hour's ride.

After the scoring system, we present a tour which allows you to visit a representative selection of the many areas in the protected areas system.

BEST NATURE RESERVES AND FORESTS IN ECUADOR
AREA	NATURE RESERVES HIGHLIGHTS
Galapagos National Park	Rather obvious
Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve	The only low-land Amazon area with lakes and micro channels from where one can observe wildlife and watch birds as well as Amazon Jungle Animals and Amazon Rainforest Plants on Ecuador Amazon Expeditions to Cuyabeno National Park.
Yasuni National Park	This horse shaped National Park between the Napo, Tiputini and Curaray Rivers is Ecuador's largest protected area on the mainland. Lodges are located along the Napo River, primarily in the bufferzones. 95% of the park is virgin jungle, and in spite of oil exploitation, mostly in primary forest conditions.
Podocarpus National Park	Interesting forest with the only South America coniferous trees.
Las Cajas National Park	Very scenic high land paramo landscape with many beautiful lakes.
Chimborazo Wildlife Reserve	Besides being the furthest point from the center of the earth, the area has 6000+ vicu?s that can always be seen from the road side. Car access to 4,800masl.
Cotopaxi National Park	Beautiful scenic volcano top.
Pululahua	Charming volcano close to Quito. Great for a morning visit when chances of decent weather are best.
Sangay National Park	With three volcanoes and beautiful lakes, this area can be extremely beautiful, but the skies are rarely clear and the chances of spending all your stay in the fog and drizzling rain are extremely high. Only for very hardy outdoors people.
Cotacachi - Cayapas Ecological Reserve	Cotacachi Cayapas reserve includes Cuicocha, Ecuador's most scenic crater lake. 20 minutes away from the Otavalo Indian Market.
Machalilla National Park	This area has a very rare transition forest from wet conditions in the North and the Peruvian coastal desert in the south. The landscape has suffered from human intervention, but there are still very valuable pockets of deciduous forests and bottle shaped trees. Los Frailes is the only virgin beach left in the country and offer plenty of over-night facilities.
Cayapas Mataje Ecological Reserve	Located in the province of Esmeraldas, these are the tallest remaining Mangroves in all of South America. However, Over the past years, Esmeraldas has become infested with narcos, Esmeraldas is no longer safe to travel there for foreigners.

Ecuador National Parks Tour

Many of the areas are only hours away from Ecuador's main cities, and yet.......... very few of those jewels of nature are ever visited. World traveler of 80+ countries and renowned national parks adviser of the World Bank and United Nations, Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil, developed the ?ECUADOR NATIONAL PARKS TOUR? which takes you to 8 protected areas in 9 days. Having been part of the United Nations team that selected the majority of the protected areas of Ecuador between 1974 and 1976, nobody knows the ecology and protected areas system of Ecuador better than Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil, aca the "Parks Man Daan".

In fact, the National Parks Tour takes you to all cultural highlights of the country - Otavalo, Guayaquil, Cuenca and Ingapirca - while at the same taking you on a journey of discovery of a fabulous representation of all major ecosystems of the Andes and the Coast.

As tours to the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon are amply offered to the public, we decided not to include those destinations, thus facilitating a modular approach allowing visitors to compose their overall Ecuador visit by combining one's modules of choice. A visit to the Amazon has now become within reach of many visitors. Particularly, the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve has now become one of the world's highest valued Amazon parks for

its incredible biodiversity;
its convenient access and;
its reasonable pricing.

We also left out a visit to the highest and most beautiful capital of the Americas, Quito, as there is enough opportunity to see it between modules. So, when combining all three modules, one gets a selection of most ecosystems of the entire continent of South America as well as all cultural mayor highlights of Ecuador!

Our National Parks tours have been designed to complement existing national parks programs to Galapagos and/or Amazon national parks, like Cuyabeno and Yasun? They can start from different places, particularly Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. While the full program lasts as many as 9 days, it is possible to make a limited selection of parks. For instance, a 6 days' module "Andes and Coast" from Quito. 5-6 days' modules are available from Cuenca and Guayaquil. According to your wishes, these modules can be be combined with your Galapagos and/or Amazon program(s). IF you buy our national parks module together with a Galapagos and/or Cuyabeno module from us, we can give you significant discounts.

For those who want to complete their Ecuador visit with a guided tour to Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu, we even offer a 5 ? 7 days module, with which you get the most spectacular highlights of nature and culture of South America in one epic journey! We first present the full tour, while at the end of the page you get several modular options on how to break it up into shorter modules.
