Tour: Amazon and Galapagos Adventure
This two week tour gives a brilliant overview of the natural highlights of Ecudaor. The itinerary starts in Quito
with a couple of nights at the Casa Aliso before you fly into the rainforest and stay at the Napo Wildlife Centre
for three nights. This superb jungle lodge offers the chance to spot wildlife in the pristine rainforest of Yasuní National Park.
It is a community-based ecotourism project, the only reserve within the National Park. Ecuador's two most
accessible parrot clay licks are located here and Giant Otters inhabit the lake in front of the lodge. Situated
on a blackwater lake near the Napo River, the lodge features 10 private cabanas with lake views, a dining room,
bar and lounge and an adjacent observation tower. Community members staff the lodge and work as specialised,
bilingual naturalist guides.
Returning to Quito you will be driven straight out to the luxurious hacienda near Otavalo before
you fly out to the Galapagos for a three night cruise on the Santa Cruz.
