Highlights of Coca Ecuador
Welcome to the jungle! The Amazon jungle, that is. El Coca, known officially as Puerto Francisco de Orellana, is considered Ecuador's gateway to the rain forest and is the departure point for most of our expeditions into the jungle.
This Ecuadorian city sits right at the confluence of the Napo and Coca Rivers and is one of the furthest inland population centers in the country, east of the Andes.
To get to the luxury lodges that are immersed in the jungle, you will likely board a motorized canoe that takes you upstream. This will be your first experience in the rainforest as you listen to the cacophonous chorus that surrounds you.
You can arrive at El Coca by plane on domestic flights, or by bus or car. It's not a bad idea to plan to spend a day in the city before your tour begins, just in case you experience any delays in your travels.
North of the Rio Napo is the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, and south of the Napo is the famous Yasuni National Park, home to the most biodiversity per square mile anywhere on earth!
