Day 1: Arrive Quito | Overnight

Day 2: Fly to Amazon | La Selva Lodge

A short flight takes you over the high Andes and down to the Amazon frontier town of Puerto Francisco de Orellana (called Coca by the locals). From here, you travel by motorized canoe downriver for two hours on the Napo River before arriving at La Selva -- your home for the next few nights and base for an incredible Amazon travel adventure! Discuss the many options for excursions during your visit with the naturalist guides and set out an itinerary based on your interests.

Day 3-5: La Selva

La Selva Eco Lodge brings you deep into the Amazon Jungle, offering close encounters with wildlife, rainforest trails, and rich biodiversity. Guided excursions are customized to fit your interests and are led by native and naturalist guides who accompany you on both day and night adventures. Spot birds, monkeys, turtles, caiman, and owls, or visit a local community to learn about traditional village life. Join your guide for birdwatching, nature walks, cultural exchange, or photography outings. Night canoe rides and forest walks offer a chance to experience the jungle’s nocturnal sounds and wildlife.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
