Hi

There are 7 of us backpackers looking to go to the Amazon for 4 days in September. Anyone have some name of reputable and reasonably priced tours and/or lodges? I have heard some good things about Samona.....

THANKS!

There are a bunch of cool places in the jungle, some lodges, some communities, tours, all sorts of stuff.

If you would be interested in a community based project, click here.

For the others, just start by coming to Quito, there are a lot of travel agencies willing to help you out.

Just returned 07/01/2007. We stayed at the Napo Wildlife Center! It was great. You have to fly into Coca from Quito and then take a 4 1/2 hour motorized dug out canoe finished by a regular dug out canoe to final destination. The remote area allowed us to see a lot of wildlife. The accomodations were wonderful as well as the food.

Samona was wonderful. Definitely the way to go, and EXCELLENT food. Their four-day tour was great. You can book in Quito. They have an office on Amazona and J. Punto street.
