Every great civilization has been remembered for a masterpiece. Europe raised Versailles as a symbol of power, order, and permanence. Asia preserved the Great Wall as a testament to historical vision. Modern metropolises erected skyscrapers as an expression of technical mastery. In the Amazon, something different occurred: the masterpiece was not built; it was already alive.

TECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS

LOCATION AND ALTITUDE: Ecuadorian Amazon, between 300–600 meters above sea level—the optimal altitude for maximum biodiversity tropical rainforests.

CLIMATE:

• Average Annual Temperature: 24–26°C (75–79°F)

• Relative Humidity: 80–90%

• Annual Precipitation: 3,000–4,000 mm

• Microclimate: Stable with no extreme variations

HYDROLOGY: Six natural freshwater streams cross the property—tributaries of primary Amazonian basins—maintaining constant flow levels year-round.

FOREST COVER: Intact primary forest—never intervened—with emergent trees reaching heights of 40–60 meters, including species such as:

• Ceiba pentandra (Kapok/Ceibo) – trees up to 50m.

• Dipteryx odorata (Shihuahuaco/Tonka bean) – century-growth hardwood.

• Swietenia macrophylla (Big-leaf Mahogany) – a species of high ecological value.

DOCUMENTED BIODIVERSITY:

• Mammals: Jaguar (Panthera onca), Amazonian tapir (Tapirus terrestris), White-bellied spider monkey (Ateles belzebuth), White-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari).

• Birds: Over 400 species recorded in the region, including the Scarlet macaw (Ara macao) and Harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja).

• Herpetofauna: Endemic species such as the "Galaxy frog" (Hyloscirtus sp.), with biopharmaceutical potential currently under study.

• Flora: Estimated 1,500+ species of vascular plants per hectare.

INTACT FUNCTIONAL ECOSYSTEM

The property preserves an ecosystem in absolute equilibrium:

• Six natural streams with constant flow rates, fed by precipitation and natural filtration.

• Centuries-old and ancient trees forming a multi-layered canopy that serves as a climate regulator.

• Strategic biodiversity functioning as a genetic bank and a biopharmaceutical reserve for the future.

• Emblematic species such as the jaguar (an apex predator and indicator of ecosystem health) and the tapir (an essential seed disperser).

Key Terminology Used

• Absolute Equilibrium: A precise translation of "equilibrio absoluto," often used in ecology to describe a stable state.

• Ancient Trees: Used for "milenarios," as "millennial" usually refers to the generation of people rather than age in English.

• Apex Predator: This is the standard scientific term for a "superdepredador" (top of the food chain).

• Seed Disperser: The technical term for an animal that spreads seeds, crucial for forest regeneration.

Life forms yet to be fully studied by contemporary science coexist here, offering incalculable biopharmaceutical potential unique chemical compounds developed through millennia of evolution.
