Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Quito to Coca to Napo River

    A driver picks you up from your Quito hotel and takes you to the airport for a flight over the Andes to Coca. Once there, you'll board a motorised canoe and head down the Napo River, watching for herons, kingfishers, and spoonbills as you go. When you reach the lodge, staff greet you with a snack and then lead you on a short walk through the rainforest before dinner.

Depending on which days you're here, you might spend time with an indigenous Quichuas del Oriente family or take longer treks into deeper jungle areas.

    · January 10th, 2024
    Tried to cancel my trip today due to the escalating situation in Ecuador. They refused a refund stating that it was "safe" in the areas we were visiting and that they would not refund due to it being my choice to cancel. The representative on the phone assured me that she "talked to a friend in Quito and he says it's fine."This goes against all international news and warnings. Do not travel with them. They are not understanding or reasonable.
