The Cock-of-the-rock is native to South America. The Andean species can be found in the cloud forests along the Andes Mountains.
The males perform elaborate courtship displays, which involve them gathering in groups, called leks, to dance and show off their plumage for the females.

Snow can fall on or near the equator, but it only occurs at high altitudes.
One of the examples is the Andes mountains in Ecuador.

In a place filled with magical sounds, frogs, crickets, and other nocturnal creatures communicate, creating a symphony that truly soothes the soul. As I row gently with the sound of the water, I find my way home.

What an incredible privilege it was to see this elusive animal again. It has been a very long time since I saw the last one.

As the rain falls, I allow it to soak me until I become one with the water. As it touches me softly, I long for it to pierce my skin, slowly turning my physical self to water. Then I can be everything and nothing.

Pailon del Diablo or The Devil's Cauldron is an impressive 80-meter waterfall in Baños, Ecuador.
Reached via an easy trek through the rainforest, the power of the waterfall will leave you in awe.

The Amazon rainforest is filled with sounds of animals and insects. One of the loudest is the Howler monkey, whose guttural roar can carry for over 3 miles, even in the densest of jungles.

The Spectacled bear, also known as the South American or Andean bear, is an endangered species of bear that is native to the Andes mountains.
They get their name from the cream coloured fur around their eyes.
They live in the dense forests of the Andean slopes and feed mainly on fruit, cacti, honey, and berries, as well as the odd small rodent, bird, or insect to supplement their diet.
The female has one or two cubs a year. The cubs stay with the mother for up to 8 months. Once they reach maturity, they become solitary animals, only being seen with others in mating season.

After 10 years as a tour guide in the Ecuadorian Amazon, the moment I've been waiting for finally arrived! I had the incredible fortune to witness this majestic jaguar in its natural habitat. It was an exciting encounter that I will always remember. I'm sharing this video with you all to convey the beauty and excitement of encountering this wonderful creature. 🌿🐾
