On day 11 we slowly descend and end up in the jungle of 
Ecuador, near Tena. The Rio Napo can be heard babbling past, complemented by the rhythmic sound of frogs, crickets and monkeys. In short: you are in the Selva (jungle) of Ecuador. With this stay, an animal shelter project is supported run by the community. Activities: you will be taken to your final destination by canoe. In the primary forest surrounding your stay you can walk and look for birds, reptiles and monkeys. You will learn which useful materials grow in the jungle, catch a fish or build a raft.

This day definitely gets a sporty hue. This morning, depending on
your choice, you will wake up in a fantastic old hacienda or our hotel and pick up to climb a piece of chimborazo volcano. Then you will go into the valley by bike and experience the beautiful countryside life. For the hikers we have a nice trek through the paramo. Then the route goes to Cuenca. Along the way you can still take the legendary (tourist) train Nariz del Diablo. On days 17 and 18 you will have time to visit the colonial city of Cuenca, the el Cajas nature park, the markets and many restaurants. On day 19, go from the high Andes to the coast.
