Misahualli River, Napo Province, Ecuador
4.5 (16 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #4 in Misahualli Bodies of Water
Great personalized trip down the Napo River. Indigenous villages and great jungle food!
Travelling with two friends, I decided to take this trip. I have done this before and was not disappointed this time either. Canoe was in good shape. Life jackets in order. We visited a cool place on the rainforest and got a tour with explanations of medicinal plants, customs etc. also visited a Kichwa village which was a bit weird.....not authentic as they just sit around and wait for tourists to come....then they get you to pay so they dance. I hated that part!!! We actually paid them NOT to dance. It seemed like a zoo.....very demeaning. We did enjoy seeing and purchasing a few local crafts and the tilapia and yucca meal was amazing along with guayusa tea. I am a spanish speaker but the guides don't speak enough English to be able to communicate well. They need to consider having someone to accompany the groups to translate.

Everything in this area is worth the visit
I didn't go tubing (already did that in Baños) but spent a good amount of time by the river and kayaking on it. The views are spectacular and the atmosphere very peaceful. We didn't book a tour but found a local tourguide who arranged most of the trip.
