This is a Harvestman or Daddy Longleg from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. They are not spiders, but belong to the same class of Arachnida in the order Opiliones.
Contrary to a common belief Harvestmen do not have venom glands and are absolutely harmless. Harvestmen have been around for at least 400 million years and lived even before the dinosaurs.
