Napo River Travel Guide

Highlights of the Napo River
Ecuador's Amazon is a fantastic destination for wildlife lovers who want to be immersed in a dense rain forest bursting with biodiversity while enjoying all the comforts of a luxury vacation. And in a region where roads are scarce, the Napo River provides the best way to experience all that this jungle has to offer.

Canoeing and kayaking allows visitors to sit right on the water, where birds, monkeys, insects, and all other wildlife come to drink.
Parrot clay licks along the banks of the river attract hundreds of parrots each morning in a colorful winged portrait.
Indigenous communities welcome travelers to learn more about their ways of life, customs, and traditions when you visit.
Swimming in the blackwater lakes is a unique experience also, as friendly fish swim by your legs.
Hike - day or night - through the jungle in search of all manner of creatures.
Climb into the canopy of the rainforest with tree towers and canopy bridge walkways.

Belize adventures I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
