Ecuador or Peru
We chose Ecuador because of it's diversity. And we must say ... Ecuador is wonderful. With relative short distances in between there are highligts in Nature with the rainforest, the cloudforest and the wonderful Andes. And the cities are also worth a visit (Quito, Cuenca, Gyuayaquil). In short ... we would again choose for Ecuador.

Great photos! I am considering going to either Ecuador or Peru to see the Amazon, so it was good to see your photographs. I wonder what made you choose visiting Ecuador over the other Amazon owning countries? I would not go to Brazil in protest of the damage that country has done and is still doing to this wonderful rain forest.
