1 or 2-Day Amazon Rainforest Tour

Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the corner between Luis A. Martínez and 12 de Noviembre streets. There, we'll hop aboard a vehicle that will bring us deep into the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador.

We'll cross the famous Ruta de las Cascadas and, after an hour's drive, we'll make our first stop at the Mira Mera viewpoint. This panoramic viewpoint pays homage to the canton that welcomes you to the Amazon region—you'll love the view!

Afterwards, we'll board a canoe for a 20-minute trip down the river. Upon arrival at our destination, a tasty lunch of chicken, meat or vegetables awaits us—perfect for refuelling!

In the afternoon, we'll enter the jungle for a 1-hour walk. The guide will explain the medicinal properties of the plants and trees of the region. At the end of the walk, we'll arrive at the Hola Vida waterfall, where you can swim and relax in its crystal clear waters—don't forget your swimsuit!

Next, we'll visit the indigenous community of Coto Cocha. There, we'll enjoy a traditional dance, learn how to use the blowgun and visit the handicraft museum, where you can also buy unique handmade souvenirs.

To put the finishing touch on the experience, we'll go to the Indichuris viewpoint. Surrounded by lianas, hammocks, swings and the imposing Pastaza River in the background, we'll witness one of the most magical sunsets in the jungle.

Before heading back to Baños de Agua Santa, we'll visit a local house and witness how they make organic chocolate.

Finally, we'll return to the city and say our goodbyes at the departure point after a total of 12 hours.

2-Day Trip

If you'd like to spend a night in the rainforest, we recommend booking the 2-day trip. In this case, after seeing the sunset in Indichuris, we'll return to the Coto Cocha community, where we'll stay in cabins.

Once there, we'll have dinner and get ready for a night walk. A unique opportunity to observe the Amazonian fauna and flora under the stars! After this experience, we'll return to the cabins to rest.

The next day, we'll begin a traditional eastern Ecuadorian breakfast, the best fuel for a day full of surprises! Refuelled, we'll hike to the Escondida waterfall, a hidden corner in the vegetation where you'll have time to take a dip and relax in the middle of nature.

After this refreshing experience, we'll visit a local house where we'll learn about the artisanal process of making organic chocolate. From the harvesting of the cocoa to the final product, you'll be amazed!

Afterwards, we'll return to the community to enjoy a delicious lunch. Then, you'll have time to rest before we start our way back to Baños de Agua Santa, where we'll arrive between 8 and 9 pm.
