ABOUT UPPER NAPO
In this part of Ecuador the area along the upper Napo River provides the perfect opportunity to get a first glimpse of the dense rainforest without cutting yourself off from civilization entirely. Most lodges can be reached directly, although a short canoe ride is sometimes necessary for the last leg of the journey. Most tours include canoe excursions as well as exploratory hikes past waterfalls and hundreds of birds. Plus, learn about the many medicinal plants of the Amazon and how to use them, and listen to the jungle as you relax in a hammock after a long day of exploring. In this area you can carry out activities similar to the areas that are further into the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle.
