Answer 1

"Fully one-third of Ecuador consists of Amazonian rainforest. Ecuador's eastern jungle is often referred to as the Oriente by locals. Like all of the rainforest, Ecuador's Amazon is characterized by exuberantly green tropical forest extending as far as the eye can see. This sea of green is criss-crossed by hundreds of winding rivers, estuaries and lagoons.

Within its dense vegetation and abundance of exotic flora and fauna can be found. For those who are looking for an unforgettable adventure, walking through these tropical forests, sleeping in rustic cabins and sharing a day with the native peoples of this mysterious region is just the ticket.

Ecuador's Amazon region can be divided into three zones:

The provinces of Sucumbios, Orellana and Napo make up a northern zone. The major city is Nueva Loja or Lago Agrio. Lago Agrio is the capital of Sucumbíos and the epicenter of the oil exploitation industry. With a wide array of hotels, restaurants and businesses, it is a dynamic, commercial town with a frontier-like feeling.

Another important city of the northern zone is Francisco de Orellana or Coca. Coca is located at the confluence of the Napo and Coca rivers. Historically, this small city carries the name of the discoverer of the Amazon river. The indigenous people native to the surrounding areas, the Tagaieris or Sachas, know it as Coca because historically they went to this site to carry out their curative rituals with chewed up coca leaves. Francisco de Orellana reflects the diversity of Ecuador in its streets filled with businesses from everywhere. Other important cities in this zone are Tena and Baeza.

The central zone is made up by the Pastaza plains, the Pastaza river and its tributaries. The main city is Puyo. Puyo is located just 100 kilometers from Ambato in the Andes. The town is trying to become a magnet for tourism, hoping to attract the many tourists who visit the relatively nearby town of Baños. As part of its cultural tradition, there are weekly fairs where you can appreciate the customs of the locals. To complete the atmosphere, there are handicrafts and other samples of the indigenous cultures of: Shuar, Achuar, Huaorani and Alama.

The southern zone is made up by the province of Morona Santiago. In the valley of the Rio Upano lies the city of Macas, the main city of this region. Macas is known for the church of the Purist Virgin that stands in its central plaza. A bit farther south, at the confluence of the Zamora and Bombuscara rivers, is the developing city of Zamora. Zamora is surrounded by a variety of flora and fauna, including tapirs, capybaras, agoutis, pumas, birds and insects. It is known as the mining capital of the country and is home to the gold mines of Nambija, Chinapinza and Guayzimi.

Cuyabeno Reserve
In the northeastern part of Sucumbíos, this reserve covers a territory of 655,781 hectares, between the river basins of the San Miguel and the Aguarico. One of the main objectives of the Cuyabeno Reserve is to preserve an area of the Amazonian ecosystem, the most complex ecosystem in the world. This protected area is characterized by its high biodiversity and the interactions between species. It houses a forest with a tropical climate and immense lakes like Zancudococha. Many species of birds, some in danger of extinction, and a large variety of fauna also live in the ecological reserve.

Limoncocha Biological Reserve
This is basically made up of the Limoncocha Lake, the adjacent area and the lake Yanacocha or Black Lake. The reserve is approximately two and a half square kilometers in size and houses an enviable biological diversity.

Yasuní National Park
It is made up of an infinite succession of small, soft hills that are the result of the millennia of passing rivers. Like most of the remaining pristine rainforest, Yasuni houses an impressive biodiversity. The Park includes important watersheds of the Napo, Yasuni, Tiputini, Nashiño, and Cononaco rivers and several tributaries of the Curaray, the river which borders the park to the south.

Sumaco-Galeras National Park
In the provinces of Napo and Orellana, this Park covers an area of 205,249 ha. Two main centers make up the reserve: Sumaco volcano and its peaks and the mountains of ***** and Pan de Azúcar; and the Napo Galeras whose flanks take in an area very rich in streams and springs. For visitors to this Park there is a trail that crosses six altitudinal peaks before reaching the Sumaco volcano.

Sangay National Park
The Sangay National Park extends from the Andes Mountains and is shared by the provinces of Tungurahua, Chimborazo and Morona Santiago. Its altitude ranges between 800 and 5,400 meters, favoring the existence of different animals like the mountain tapir, spectacled bear and the ocelot. The main mountains of this reserve are the Sangay, El Altar and Tungurahua and there are many areas of virtually unaltered highland and lowland forest. Recent field investigations have confirmed the singularity of the ecology of the region and cite the high levels of species diversity in the north while the south has a high level of endemism. These facts caused the area to be declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 1983.

Kapawi Reserve
Kapawi Lodge is located in one of the most remote regions of the Ecuadorian Amazon. You reach the area in a small plane arriving at the community of Scharamentsa. From there, you travel in canoe to Kapawi. It was constructed by the Achuar Indians following their traditional construction techniques. The guests are housed in 20 comfortable double cabins, each with a private bathroom, hot water (produced by solar energy) and electricity produced by solar energy. You can relax on the terrace and watch the daily visitors: ducks, hummingbirds, herons, parrots, etc.

One of the great advantages of Kapawi is that there is no pre-set or fixed program, but the excursions (with maximum 10 people) are adapted to the interests of the guests. A naturalist guide will tell you all about the secrets of the tropical rainforest. You can also visit an Achuar village where you will learn about the exceptional way of life of this indigenous group."

Answer 2

The Amazon Rainforest is located in the upper section of Brazil south of the Equator. The Amazon River is located 2 to 4 degrees south of the Equator. This is a Tropical Rainforest instead of a Temperate Rainforest or a Fossil Rainforest. It is a Tropical Rainforest because of the climate and its location near the equator. It is very humid and wet so there are lots of places for bugs! Some insects spread diseases.
