Emerald Forest Expeditions

Emerald Forest Expeditions sells package tours to the Amazon rainforest. The shorter packages – three days, two nights – go to the town of Misahuallí, where travelers stay at Sinchi Runa cabins. From there, guides will lead tourists on jungle hikes, visit the local Quichua community and an animal shelter. Misahuallí is about an hour from Tena, which in turn is about a five to six hour bus ride from Quito.

 

There is an option for longer expeditions to Pañacocha, a scenic lodge on the Pañayacu river. It is surrounded by primary tropical rainforest, and it is possible to see a number of wild animals there, including monkeys, bats, jaguars and river dolphins. Of course, as with any remote jungle lodge, the birdwatching is phenomenal: toucans, parrots and tanagers are simply a few of the many birds the visitor can expect to see. Guides take tourists on hikes, birdwatching trips, canoe rides and caiman watching expeditions at night.

 

Package prices are all-inclusive: rates include meals, guide, transportation, park fees, rubber boots, etc. What is not covered is alcoholic beverages at the lodge, tips for guides and other hotel staff, and souvenirs.
