This tour starts and ends at Mariscal Sucre Airport (Quito Airport). We will provide you with assistance with embarking on your flight from Quito to El Coca. We can pick you up from the Hotel that you will be staying at and add the transfer for you.

Does this tour start and end in Quito? I see the starting and ending points on the itinerary aren't in Quito.

This tour starts and ends at Mariscal Sucre Airport (Quito Airport). We will provide you with assistance with embarking on your flight from Quito to El Coca.

We are an older couple with a dislike (fear) of heights and not up to long or strenuous hikes. What is a good 3 or 4 day trip to get a feel for the Amazon.

Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is the ideal. Per your very important thought about fear of heights and the desire for short and light hikes, Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is the ideal. You will not have to hike because you will be taken with a motor canoe from the lodge to the indigenous community. Afternoon activities include canoe rides, watching sunset, swimming or paddling.

It was a true privilege to be welcomed at the Napo Cultural Centre and live amongst the Kichwa community, that uphold their traditions to this day.

I hadn't planned on going to the Ecuadorian Amazon, it was just by chance I saw it, as I was booking my accomadation in Ecuador. It was a true privilege to be welcomed at the Napo Cultural Centre and live amongst the Kichwa community, that uphold their traditions to this day. They all welcomed me with smiles and open arms, although many don't speak English or Spanish I could get by and learnt some of their Kichwa along the way! They are all very humble and and take great pride in their jungle and preserving what they can, hence putting bans on hunting animals and fighting to keep their land. There were only 2 of us that stayed at the lodge which was fine as we had a guide each. My guide was absolutely amazing, his ability to spot wildlife is unbelievable. I think we saw 8 different types of monkey species, parakeets, different types of birds....the only thing outstanding that I wanted to see was the sloth and anaconda. On my last day after coming back to the lodge at midday he text me to say come to main area, he had found the sloth. I couldn't of been happier. My guide was very much, what did I want to see and get out of this trip. The rooms are comfortable and water is replaced everyday, the rooms are made up everyday. There's a ceiling fan and a fridge with various drinks. The meals served are amazing and you never go hungry. They also have a bar where you can get other drinks. As this is within the community you do get to mix with the other families that live there, mainly the children as they come for school in the morning and leave in the afternoon. The owners and those that work there are all very nice and accomodating, I had the best time there. I think the best part for me was the canoe ride down the Napo river, gave me a chance to really see lots of different types of animals and true Amozonien life. It was tough for my guide and the other gentleman who were canoeing for about an hour. But it was fantastic. Highly recommended this trip, you do have the option of 3 different types of accommodation. I liked this one as it was part of a community and you could see how everyone goes about daily life. And you can tell its a very tight community.Show more

Reply from: Responsible Travel South America
Thank you so much for sharing your experience — what a wonderful reflection! It’s inspiring to read how your spontaneous decision to visit the Ecuadorian Amazon turned into such a meaningful and enriching encounter. The way you describe your time with the Kichwa community, your connection with the local people, and your admiration for their traditions and conservation efforts truly captures the essence of what makes Napo Cultural Centre so special. We’re delighted to hear that your guide made your stay unforgettable and that you were able to witness such incredible wildlife — even the sloth on your last day! Your words perfectly illustrate the spirit of responsible travel and cultural immersion that we value deeply. Thank you again for recommending this experience — your feedback means a lot to us and to the community itself. Warm regards, Alvaro Pereira Responsible Travel South America

  Yasuni is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, located within Yasuni National Park, where you can encounter incredible wildlife, navigate pristine rivers, and connect with local communities while surrounded by breathtaking rainforest landscapes. It truly offers an immersive experience surrounded by nature, comfort, and exceptional wildlife opportunities.
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written March 2026
  Did you know that Yasuní National Park is considered one of the most biodiverse places on Earth? In just one hectare of forest, scientists have recorded more tree species than in all of North America. This incredible rainforest is also home to monkeys, colorful macaws, giant otters, and even the elusive jaguar. Exploring Yasuní offers a unique opportunity to experience the Amazon at its most wild and untouched.

  Is there a tour of the Amazon that originates closer to Quito? Don't like the idea of an 8-9 hour drive.
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written October 2022
  We have an option at the gateway of the Amazon, specifically located at Tena (Napo province). The drive from Quito to Tena will be only three hours long until the gathering and pick-up point at Tena town, from there the lodge will pick you up and take you to Tena Lodge.
