Napo

Napo Tours

Another Amazon Tours destination is Tena, located in Napo province. A small town near Cuyabeno but not as deep into the jungle so here, you are more in touch with the world in general. Nevertheless, you can still spot animals and get to know local communities. Transportation to Napo is easier since you can get here by car or by bus.

The activities in Napo are more adventurous: like tubbing and rafting. Also, there are amazing routes to hike to the incredible waterfalls. You’ll have the chance to see the clay lick bank called Saladero. Hundreds of parrots and parakeets will come to lick the soil that is rich in minerals. All of them help the birds to improve their digestion.

Yasuni Tours

This is one of the main destinations on Amazon Tours. The Yasuni Biosphere Reserve is the largest protected area in the Ecuadorian continental land. You can get here by plane or car. Then depending on your destination, you’ll have to get a boat. 

One of Rebecca Adventure Travel’s interns, Indi, went to the Yasuni National Park. In order to experience for herself the Amazon rainforest, “the head of the community was a woman, and they call her ‘Abuela’ which means grandmother in Spanish. She sang a song to welcome us, and we could try the traditional drink called ‘Chicha’. She was a very nice and strong lady, and it was nice meeting her and hearing her stories about life in the Amazon.

There are only a few lodges and more campsites, one’s more glamping style and others more rudimentary. Be aware that the campsites have no electricity so you will need power banks for your electronic devices. Since you are more deep into the rainforest, your trip will be a more Amazonian lifestyle. The local communities will tell you how they live. And how they have adapted their traditions to the occidental way of living. 

If you are not sure which one of the Amazon Tours suits you. You can read about the 5 major differences between Cuyabeno and Yasuni Reserve.

There are two Amazon Tours in the Yasuni, for explorers and adventure lovers. For the first one, you’ll stay at a lodge, and there are incredible activities planned like hiking, canopying, caiman spotting by night, creek paddling, and more.

And for real adventurers, the kayak tour is recommended. You will kayak from campsite to campsite. Which is hosted by the Kichwa communities of this very remote area.

Enjoy the Ecuadorian Amazon region, special memories are guaranteed!
