Intag Valley






Intag is a region of Ecuador where there is still virgin cloud forest left. It is unique because in a matter of 20 miles, the elevation changes rapidly. Therefore, there are more species of plants and animals in this valley than almost anywhere on earth (it's in the top 10). There are some views from the drive and from our visit to the eco-pueblo (Pukara), the coffee plantation (Café Río Intag), our lodging near the thermal pools, and our hike through the cloud forest. I bought some of the coffee...let me know if you'd like to try it!
