Discover the Ecuadorian Amazon with kids at La Selva Lodge. A family adventure deep in the rainforest with wildlife, culture, and unforgettable experiences<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Two unforgettable weeks. That\u2019s what we had to explore the wonders of Ecuador<\/a> \u2014 strolling the narrow hills of Quito\u2019s colonial neighborhoods<\/a> to hiking to the base of Quilotoa Crater<\/a>. And in the middle of it all, a week-long cruise through the magic of the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands<\/a> \u2014 for most, that would be a lot. But my family had one last Ecuadorian travel adventure ahead: the Ecuadorian Amazon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This journey into the depths of the world\u2019s most famous rainforest would be the final stop on our Ecuador itinerary<\/a>. We transited from Isabella Island, back to Quito, said goodbye to Christina\u2019s mother, who joined us for our cruise in the Gal\u00e1pagos, and boarded an early morning flight to the edge of the world \u2014 the Amazon Basin.<\/p>\n From the airplane window, the jungle looked endless. Towering mountain peaks gave way to a vast green expanse, coffee-colored rivers snaking through the trees like a barista\u2019s nightmare. It was hypnotic \u2014 and humbling. <\/p>\n After decades of travel around the world, there are few places left that still feel truly<\/em> wild. The Amazon<\/strong> Rainforest is different. It doesn\u2019t just look untamed \u2014 it is<\/em> untamed.<\/p>\n \n![\"A](\"https:\/\/wanderingwagars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/La-Selva-Lodge-Ecuadorian-Amazon-with-Kids-Feature.webp\")
