Call the Amazon Jungle home for a few nights on this Independent Short Break, where you’ll have lunch as you journey along the Napo River, take long jungle walks to spot wildlife you’ve never seen before and relax at your jungle lodge. Wake up to the sound of birdcalls and discover the joy of sleeping in this secluded spot deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon – an experience that feels a million miles away from the everyday.

Day 1: Quito / Amazon Jungle
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Ecuador. You’ll be collected from your preferred Quito hotel this morning and taken to the airport, where you’ll fly over the Andes to the river port town of Coca. Here, a lodge representative will meet you and take you to a motorised canoe on the river for a journey to the mighty Napo. The Napo River is the largest river in Ecuadorian Amazon and as you cruise along, you might spot different shore birds, like herons, kingfishers, spoonbills and ospreys. At the lodge, you’ll receive a warm welcome from the local staff, who’ll give you a snack while you’re introduced to the facilities. Later, join your guide for a short hike to the perfect spot for rainforest views, then head back in time for dinner.
Day 2: Amazon Jungle Lodge
The next two days are packed with activities. These may vary depending on the time of year and the weather; however, they normally include wildlife spotting, canoe rides and jungle walks, with the opportunity to learn from a local guide about the many resources the Amazon provides – from medicine to construction and food. Depending on what days of the week you’re at the lodge, you may have the opportunity to meet an indigenous family of the Quichuas del Oriente community or to go on long jungle walks. Whatever you do, you’ll be in one of the most magnificent landscapes on Earth, full of wildlife, incredible plant species – from the tiniest flower to the tallest tree – and communities deeply connected to the land.
Day 3: Amazon Jungle

Day 4: Quito
After breakfast, travel back to Coca airport for your return flight to Quito, where your trip finishes on arrival. You’re scheduled to arrive at Quito Airport at approximately 12 pm, however flight delays are not uncommon in this part of the world. If you have an outbound flight today, we recommend you book this for after 4 pm. If you need help with extra accommodation and transfers, please contact your booking agent ahead of time.
