Had an amazing Amazon tour to rio Napo, Napo Cultural Centre in January. Thanks to Happy Gringo, and there the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable person David, that I found that incredible spot in the midst of a mesmerising jungle. I spent there five days and four nights. Everything exceeded my expectations. The travel arrangements were perfect, service just superb, accommodation , meals and personnel wonderful.Â

We had an absolutely amazing trip on the Cuyabeno River at the Tapir Lodge.
We were picked up at the airport by our guide, the owner, Kurt. He was wonderful and made the 3 1/2 hour drive very enjoyable.
We loaded into the canoe and spent another three hours, canoeing down the river to the lodge. This particular trip was just my husband and I so we got the royal treatment from Kurt.
He was full of information, very attentive, and was an absolutely wonderful guide.

This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken. The Amazon was amazing and the Galapagos was beyond spectacular. It was a great vacation also due to the planning of The Happy Gringo tour agency. Would highly recommend. Every detail was taken care of, never felt like we didn’t know where to go or what to do. The guides they provided were local and knowledgeable. The NAPO cultural center was 100 times more than we expected, great food, great people. Highly recommend this particular tour.

An Ecuador rainforest tour is a big tick for any bucket list, so let’s make it happen!
ABOUT ECUADOR’S AMAZON RAINFOREST
A TRIP TO THE AMAZON JUNGLE IS ABOUT IMAGINATION...
For intrepid travelers, Ecuador’s Amazon represents escape. A journey into a mysterious world of hidden secrets and unexpected adventures. Your very own Indiana Jones experience.
Nature lovers, picture yourself as David Attenborough or Dr Livingstone, exploring a kingdom of weird and wonderful creatures, hidden from the rest of the world.
Or put your Percy Fawcett explorer hat on, to discover native indigenous tribes willing to share a brief glimpse into their lives.
Wherever your imagination takes you, you won’t be disappointed. An Amazon tour in Ecuador is a true explosion for the senses & nature in its purest form.
The adventure of a lifetime awaits you!

WHY VISIT THE AMAZON RAINFOREST IN ECUADOR?
In Ecuador, an Amazon adventure is closer than you think. Ecuador offers the easiest access to the Amazon basin of all countries in South America!
Ecuador’s Amazon region also offers eco-system diversity. The Terra Firme forest of Yasuni is rather different to the flooded forest ecosystem at Cuyabeno Reserve. Both offer contrasting & fascinating traveler experiences.
Eco-tourism is also very developed in Ecuador’s Amazon region. See first-hand how your Amazon jungle trip respects & protects the environment, and supports local indigenous communities.
Ecuador has a wide range of Amazon lodges. There are tours suitable for all budgets, from backpacker to luxury.

ECUADOR AMAZON TRAVEL TIPS
WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR AN ECUADOR RAINFOREST TOUR?
Check out our FREE printable Amazon packing guide.

SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT CREEPY CRAWLIES IN THE JUNGLE?
Any trip into the rainforest involves contact with nature. Of course bugs and creepy-crawlies are part of that experience. So, yes, insects are an unavoidable element of your visit - this is true at both rustic and luxury lodges alike.
Our Amazon travel tip is to treat insects as an integral part of your rainforest experience. Learn to appreciate rather than fear them. Most Amazon lodges even include a guided night-walk to look for insects and amphibians – this can be a major highlight of your trip.
So treat your Ecuador Amazon adventure as an opportunity to take a closer look at some pretty amazing little critters!
ÂWILL I GET BITTEN BY MOSQUITOS IN THE JUNGLE?
Mosquitos are part of life in the Amazon jungle. But, that does not necessarily have to mean that you’ll be bitten.
By following simple rules of bite prevention, there’s no need that mosquitos should spoil your Amazon tour in Ecuador. We recommend using strong mosquito repellent (preferably with high DEET content), and staying covered with long-sleeved clothing. Most Ecuador Amazon lodges also provide mosquito netting to cover windows and/or beds.
