TRAVELLING FROM IQUITOS
PERU TO COCA ECUADOR
Join us in this Amazon adventure from Francisco
de Orellana Iquitos, Peru to Coca Ecuador
Since we are an Ecuadorian tour company, we are not authorized to
work in tourism while in Peru. We may only provide river transport
from Pantoja to Iquitos Peru. Please be advised that during our
travels in the Peruvian Amazon we will spend some nights in hotels,
camping on a beach along the shores of the Napo River or spend a
night with a local family.
While spending the night with these families our guests will not be
provided with basic services such as restrooms, showers, electricity
and any form of communication. Our guest must be flexible as to
eating hours while we are travelling downstream on the Napo. We
will travel from 8 to 12 hours per day.
Day
One:
We make an early start from Iquitos Peru at 6h00 from the main port
in Iquitos. A speedboat awaits us for our departure for Mazan up
the Amazon River. Upon our arrival in Mazan, we take a motor car
taxi to the shores of the Napo River where our second public
transport boat awaits us. We take this public transportation to
Santa Clotilde and spend a night in this Peruvian jungle town.
Other options include camping on the river or if you wish, we could
spend the night with a local indigenous family. Your security is
important to us and we will always make sure we stay at a safe and
secure site during the night.
Please note, if there is another form of transportation in Santa
Clotilde, we will immediately depart for Pantoja Peru or to the
Ecuadorian border town of Nueva Rocafuerte.
Day
Two:
After breakfast, we continue our travels up the Napo and travel
until sunset. Water levels permitting, we will look for an ideal
campsite on a beach. It may also be possible to spend the night in
one of the locals’ homes. Remember, the climate in the Amazon is
known to change quickly and this also may influence where we sleep
in the evenings.
Day
Three:
After breakfast, we prepare for our private river transport to our
destiny, the Peruvian border town of Pantoja. After completing
border procedures, we travel 1 ½ hours upstream to the Ecuadorian
border town of Nueva Rocafuerte. Here you will sleep in a
comfortable bed and enjoy a nice hot shower.
Day
Four:
Today we have an early morning start (5h00) as we continue our
travels up the Napo to our final destination, Coca Ecuador. Please
note that we travel up the Napo in a public transport boat filled
with cargo and people and it might be a good idea to have a book,
for this long 12-15 trip upriver.
It is important to be flexible for this trip as upon a rare
occasion, the boat arrives the following day in Coca. Always be
prepared for adventure when travelling on a river through the
Amazon. Assuming we arrive on schedule at approximately 19h00, a
comfortable private room and bathroom awaits you at the Hotel San
Fermin in Coca. You may also invite yourself to one of the many
restaurants that exist in Coca. Please note that dinner is not
included in the price during your stay in Coca. END OF TRIP.
