The trip starts at 8:30am at our office in Tena. From there we will take a private car and will go for 20 minutes until Upper amazon region
- We head for the «route of the dreams». This is a thousand-year-old pathway where in ancient times our ancestors used it to go to other communities and to the Napo River. Today, with the support of tourism we try to keep the area alive.
We will visit the caves of the parrots, known as Kali kali in Kichwa. They reproduce in these caves once a year. We will cross crystalline rivers and canyons
At about 2pm, we will go back to the place from where we started. Our rafting equipment will be waiting for us there so that we can go to the sector of the River Jatun Yacu (or “big river”), from where our next activity will begin.
Before we begin our river adventure, the guide will give a brief safety talk and then will teach us how to use the equipment. He will explain and teach rowing techniques.
We will begin our descent along the River Jatun Yacu by going through some rapids.
Halfway through the journey, we will stop on the riverbank to have a quick rest and to have a delicious lunch. After that, we will carry on until we reach our final destination point at Puerto Napo.
Our estimated time of arrival in Tena is 5pm. It could be earlier or late, though, depending on the river’s water levels.
