The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world's most exotic and remote travel destinations. Accessing the Amazon in Ecuador is surprisingly easy, just a half-an-hour flight from Ecuador's capital of Quito to the Amazonian city of Coca followed by a canoe ride to a stunning lodge in the world's largest, most biodiverse rainforest. The lodges neighboring the Napo River tend to be of the highest level of service and provide exceptional opportunities to explore wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, colorful Amazonian birds, butterflies and thousands upon thousands of species of flora and fauna. Explore lakes and rivers in dugout canoes, hike the forest trails discovering medicinal plants, and visit indigenous villages and try your shot at shooting a blow gun. Contact our Ecuadorian Amazon experts for help planning the perfect trip.

Best Time to Visit the Ecuadorian Amazon and La Selva Amazon Ecolodge

The Ecuadorian Amazon is a year-round travel destination since the weather varies only slightly from month to month. May, June, and July have the lowest average temperatures and July has the lowest rainfall making it the ideal time to travel. Expect some rain (it is the rainforest after all!) to refresh you from the heat and humidity when the sun is out.

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
