Butterfly Photography Tours in Ecuador

Our main focus is to provide exceptional butterfly photography experiences in Ecuador, one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. We specialize in helping photographers capture high-quality images of Ecuador’s incredible butterfly diversity, from colorful species to rare and fascinating groups such as metalmarks, Batesia, and many other unique butterflies.

During our tours, we explore some of the best butterfly habitats in Ecuador, including cloud forests, tropical forests, and private reserves. Our comfortable lodge offers the perfect place to relax after a day of exploration, with butterfly-watching opportunities right along our trails, where many species can be observed and photographed without traveling far.

Our full-day butterfly photography excursions take you to carefully selected locations where we search for outstanding photographic opportunities. These areas are especially productive between September and January, when butterfly activity is at its peak and weather conditions are ideal for outdoor photography.

With years of experience exploring Ecuador’s forests, your local naturalist guide will take you to the best locations to find butterflies and help you achieve the perfect shots. We focus on photography techniques, composition, natural behavior, and different angles, whether butterflies are visiting feeders, resting on vegetation, or using traditional photography setups.

Because butterfly species vary greatly in size and behavior, we recommend bringing your best photography equipment, including a macro lens or specialized gear. Some species are incredibly small and challenging to photograph, but with patience, expert guidance, and the right conditions, you will have unforgettable opportunities to capture Ecuador’s amazing butterfly world.

Join us for a unique butterfly photography adventure and discover the hidden beauty of Ecuador’s forests through the lens of your camera.
