Ecuador

Gallery Info

Ecuador is a small country in South America that is full of natural beauty and biodiversity. From the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands to the lush cloud forests of Mindo and the serene mountain town of Vilcabamba, Ecuador offers a wealth of photographic opportunities.

In 2016, I spent 10 days on the Galapagos Islands, capturing the incredible wildlife and landscapes that make this archipelago so special. The Galapagos are home to species found nowhere else on Earth, such as the giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. The iguanas with their prehistoric appearance were my favorite subjects to photograph.

The cloud forest of Mindo is another highlight of Ecuador. This lush, misty environment is teeming with birdlife, including colorful toucans and hummingbirds. Unfortunately, I wasn't much of a bird photographer at the time, so I focused more on capturing the cloud forest and waterfalls that define this unique ecosystem.
