Sacha Ñampi Lodge Yasuní - Tour 5 Days - 4 Nights
Traveling to the Amazon is to discover the rich biodiversity of the tropical rainforest. Most species of plants and animals live within its mysterious virgin forests, protected in the Yasuní National Park, which is involved with the coexistence of Kichwa Culture through its Community Tourism Initiatives along the Napo River.
Sacha Ñampi, a community project belonging to the Kichwa "Alta Florencia" commune, is located approximately 292 kilometers by river from the city of El Coca and less than 10 kilometers from the border with Peru. This community has great tourism potential in natural, cultural, and gastronomic resources.
