Loja, Ecuador
Ecuador can proudly boast of being the country with the most natural variety per square kilometer of the planet. Its four worlds of diversity - the Amazon, the coast, the highlands, and the las Islas Galápagos- - are proof of this.
This country contains 8% of all animal species and 10% of the flora on the planet. This due to the Amazon rainforest, which covers virtually the entire eastern half of the country.
