Amazon Adventure Tours
These tours are for tourists looking for something more adventurous than a typical lodge in the Amazon region. Most of these tours spend a couple of nights at a lodge, but most nights will be spent in community accommodations or camping in tents. Exploring the Amazon in this manner offers the opportunity to see areas of the Amazon where few people visit; places where you can truly experience the peace, tranquility and diversity of Ecuador's Amazon region to the maximum.
