FAQs: Hiking in Napo

What should I know about Hiking Napo?

The Ecuadorian province of Napo lies at the core of the country. It is home to dense rainforest that is packed full of biodiversity as well as many indigenous communities.

Staggering stratovolcanoes

The Andes run directly through the centre of the country, and rising from the range are spectacular cone-shaped volcanoes sprinkled with snow.

Rich mountain cultures
Ecuador is richly diverse in geography and culture. Sitting on top of the Andean mountainside, the communities have cultivated different types of tradition and culture. But a close sense of relationship with food, clothing and the natural landscapes tie different mountain communities together.
Wealth of diversity
The area between the Andes mountains and the Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse in the entire world. The parks that protect the great volcanoes are also home to the highest numbers of bird species in the world. While hiking you’ll witness wild horses, deer, llamas and condors soaring above, as fog and wind blow through the valleys.
