We were able to take a couple of days and head to Shell for a night, then over to Tena and spend two nights at the Casa Del Suizo. Tena is in the rain forest - and it did rain. What a great, relaxing time we had! You get there by leaving your car at a parking lot and traveling down the river by canoe. All food (wonderful food) is included in the price, there was a large pool, butterfly farm, great view of the Napo River, private balcony with a hammock, king size bed, (did we mention the hammock?) . . . just a great way to relax and prepare for Christmas. Or, just swing in the hammock on the balcony and read. Can you tell we liked it?
The whole trip was 372 miles (598 kms) and one big circle - Quito, Shell, Tena, Baeza, Papallacta, Quito. The longest leg was from Tena to Quito. Due to the roads it took us 6 1/2 hours to drive back today - a lot of it at 10 kmh!
Here are a couple of videos as well to give you a sense of our travel by canoe.
