Ecuador’s Amazon Region
The Rio Napo is a tributary to the Amazon River and rises on the flanks of east Andean volcanoes to provide the south of life in the Ecuadoran Amazon region. Here, 40% of the Napo Basin is under the stewardship of indigenous peoples and small towns and settlements are scattered along the banks of the river, where motorized canoes are the primary source of transportation. Adventurous visitors plunge into the rainforest, prowl jungle trails, cross suspension bridges and use zip baskets to cross jungle gorges and then float on balsa wood rafts to remote riverbank lodges to dine on river fish and tropical foods.
