About this trip
Welcome to the fantastic world of the Ecuadorian Amazon Forest «YARINA ECOLOGICAL RESERVE«, a veritable paradise located in the province of Orellana, in the heart of YASUNÍ National Park.
The adventure starts with a 30-minute flight from Quito to El Coca, traversing the majestic Andes, and flying over the beautiful Ecuadorian forest. Then you will sail through the waters of the Napo River, the main tributary of the Amazonas River, up to its confluence with Rio Maduro.
The crossing from El Coca toward the Yarina Ecological Reserve is comfortably done in power-driven canoes, and takes about one hour, during which time you can enjoy the view of the beautiful riverside landscapes and the homes of Quichua communities, that even today keep their customs and traditions, such as the making of «chica de yuca» (a traditional saliva-fermented yuca drink).
Get ready to enjoy days filled with adventures, learning and new discoveries.
