The Manatee operates from the heart of the Ecuadorean Amazonia, at Orellana Province. We start our operation from the city of Coca, a bus ride of some 8 hours from Quito; or by plane, a short an scenic 30 minute flight from Quito. A canoe will be taken at the dock for an hour navigation until arriving where the Manatee is awaiting for you.

Ecuador Amazon rain forest tours
Ecuador's rainforest is located in the heart of the World's largest tropical rainforest, the Amazon Basin, a unique ecosystem. A short flight or a descent by road on the flanks of the Andes leads modern explorers and adventurers along the same routes that the first Spanish Conquerors ventured through in their search of the land of Gold and Cinnamon... and found the mighty Amazon River. Enjoy environmentally conscious programs, in the safety and comfort of reliable operators and experienced naturalist guides. Explore the rain forest on treks on terra firme forest beneath the gigantic Amazon trees, along boardwalks crossing palm swamps and up observation towers for a close look at the forest canopy.
Board native silent dugout canoes up rivers and streams and enjoy early morning outings for bird watching. The ocean of green will come alive at every step. Share and learn the way of life of remote yet friendly and outstanding indigenous cultures. While nature will actually fill your senses, the local people will fill your hearts. Visiting Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest will become a unique experience, leaving everlasting memories for you…
