ORYX Photo Tours offers two itineraries that highlight the Amazon's wildlife splendours and some of the world’s last remaining indigenous tribes. Explore the Cloud Forest and Amazon Rainforest by foot and boat, photographing its colourful jungle gems as we visit what is widely regarded as the highest biodiversity for a single region on the entire planet!
During our Cloud Forest and Amazon Photo Tour, your photography subjects will be the spectacular avifauna found here, including parrots, macaws, hummingbirds, toucans and tanagers, playful Giant River Otters, as well as quirky forest insects and reptiles. With night walks, flash set ups and macro photography learnings, the colours & contours of the Amazon await to be captured! The Waorani people live in an area that is a biological treasure trove, close to the Equator and in arguably the most biodiverse place on Earth. They are remarkably skilled hunters and have a warlike reputation based on their willingness to fight off intruders and retain the land that is rightfully theirs, and they have for a large portion of the 21st century remained relatively untouched by the outside world.
Discover Quito with Illa Experience Hotel through a multi-sensory journey designed in collaboration with Six Senses — an immersive exploration of the city that goes far beyond traditional sightseeing.
This curated experience engages every sense: the aroma of local ingredients and traditional markets, the texture of artisanal craftsmanship, the flavours of Ecuadorian cuisine, the sounds of historic streets, and the visual richness of Quito’s UNESCO-listed old town.
Explore one of the world’s most extraordinary marine environments aboard the &Beyond Galápagos Explorer, where the islands reveal their true magic not only above the water, but beneath it.
Slip into the clear waters of the archipelago for unforgettable snorkelling encounters with an abundance of marine life — from playful sea lions weaving effortlessly through the currents, to marine iguanas feeding underwater and tropical fish moving through volcanic reef systems.
Discover the Chocó Cloud Forest from an entirely new perspective aboard Mashpi Lodge’s Dragonfly Canopy Gondola, an open-air journey designed to reveal the reserve’s extraordinary biodiversity from above.
Glide silently through, over, and across the lush green canopy as the forest unfolds beneath you — from dense treetops alive with birdlife to the winding rivers and forest floor far below. Each moment offers a shifting vantage point, where light, mist, and movement reveal the richness of one of the world’s most biologically diverse ecosystems.
