Yasuni National Park

Yasuni National Park is located just south of the Cuyabeno reserve. The park is home to a number of local tribes that have little contact with the outside world, such as the Tagaeri and Taromenane tribes. The park consists mainly of rainforest and is called the most biologically diverse place on earth! With an immense diversity of amphibians, birds, mammals and vascular plants. The Yasuni bat even only occurs in this park.
