How to Get to Ecuador’s Amazon Jungle from Baños

Amazon Jungle from Baños

Traveling from Baños to the Amazon Jungle: What to Consider

As you plan your trip to the Amazon from Baños, consider the following factors: how long , how much , and when .

How long? — Plan to spend at least two nights in the Amazon, depending on what area you’re visiting. If you’re planning to travel deep into the Amazon, for instance, to Yasuní National Park, expect to stay at least four nights.  Are you a backpacker, or do you prefer maintaining your daily comforts? In the Ecuadorian Amazon, there isn’t much of an in-between category, and costs vary significantly. 

How much? — As a backpacker, expect to take cheap but sometimes inconvenient and uncomfortable public transport to your destination and embrace a “go-with-the-flow” attitude. As a more comfort-focused traveler, you might need to book your trip in advance online or in Baños or Puyo to ensure everything goes as planned. Chances are the costs will be a little higher.

When? — The Amazon consists of two seasons: wet and dry. Depending on what you want to see and experience, choose your timing wisely. Read the section below, “Best Time to Travel to the Amazon Jungle,” for specifics.

How to Travel from Baños to Ecuador’s Amazon Jungle and a Few Places You Can’t Miss

The cheap and simple way to get to the Amazon from Baños is by bus. Buses depart regularly from the Baños Bus Terminal ( Terminal Terrestre Baños , in Spanish) to the jungle city of Puyo or the towns along the way like Mera. 

Just one hour down the road from Baños, Mera is a small town, home to fewer than 1000 inhabitants. If you stop there, make sure to visit its breathtaking lookout point, El Mirador de Mera.

From Puyo, you can arrange day-trip tours and activities like visits to nearby indigenous community-led tourism initiatives only 30–45 minutes away by road. Among these are the Indichuris lookout point ( Mirador de Indichuris) and Hola Vida Waterfall (Cascada Hola Vida) , both belong to the Kichwa indigenous communities of the surrounding area.

If you’re hoping to buy locally-produced souvenirs, check out Omere Texturas de la Selva , located between Baños and Puyo, where you can buy intricate, hand-made products from the Waorani indigenous tribe. 

What You Need to Know Before Booking a Tour to the Amazon Jungle

There are three general approaches to planning your trip to the Amazon from Baños. They are: 

Book in Advance — Do some online research at home and book all-inclusive tour packages before arriving in Ecuador. The advantage to this approach is that you’re worry-free upon landing, but the downside is that it comes at a relatively high price.

Book from Baños — Opt for a local tour agency in Baños with set itineraries and packages from which to choose. The advantage of this approach is that you might find more competitive prices. Still, you’ll have to make your way to Baños on your own. Also, there may be limited availability for any number of reasons like high- or low-season (in terms of tourism) and weather.

Go With the Flow — From Baños, continue down the lush, forested slopes towards the Amazon and see what happens. You’ll definitely find more affordable options this way, but this approach is also less time-efficient.

What to Pack Before Traveling

As you plan your trip to the Amazon, there are two main things you want to avoid: getting wet and insect bites. The trouble with getting wet in the Amazon is that, since the climate is quite humid, your clothes and socks may never dry, so just keep that in mind as you pack.

Make sure you have rain protection like a poncho or light raincoat (water-resistant clothing isn’t good enough). 

  • If you’re planning to hike, take a pair of rubber boots (you can buy some in Baños) or make sure the tour or lodge provides these. 
  • Take a few extra pairs of socks (these are especially nice to use with rubber boots to avoid getting blisters).
  • Pack a couple of Tek Towels™ (or equivalent) and some quick-dry shirts.
  • Pack a light sweater, as it can feel chilly after a wet afternoon.

Avoiding Insect Bites and Stings: 

  • Make sure you buy insect repellent in Baños.
  • Pack a breathable long-sleeve shirt and pair of pants.
  • If you’re planning to venture deeper into the rainforest, make sure the hotel, lodge, or community you’re visiting provides mosquito nets.
  • Are you allergic to bites or stings? Pack an over-the-counter antihistamine like Benedryl or Claritin. And if you are allergic to stings, make sure to pack your Epi-Pen (injectable epinephrine).
  • Avoid going to the Amazon during the warmer, wetter months when there are more mosquitos.
  • Avoid sandy river banks where sand fleas abound. Sand fleas don’t respond to mosquito repellent. Instead, try rubbing a skin-safe oil on your skin, impeding the fleas’ movement on your skin.

Other items you should pack for your trip to the Amazon region include:

  • An extra set of clothes
  • Sun protection in the form of sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and light, long-sleeve shirts
  • Flip-flops (you’ll want to allow your feet to breathe while protecting them from the ground and its inhabitants)
  • Reusable water bottle (make sure you have access to potable water on your trip or else consider taking a portable camping-style water filter)
  • Camera or phone and something to protect it from moisture
  • Binoculars, especially if you want to take part in bird-watching activities.

Best Time to Travel to the Amazon Jungle

There are two seasons in the Amazon: wet and dry. Wet season typically extends from March through June and then again around November and December. Dry season tends to take place from December through February and July through October.

If you hope to explore the Amazon by boat, the rivers are more easily navigated during the wet season. Depending on the region you visit, you can expect to see more caimans , anacondas, primates, and birds during the wet season, not to mention mosquitos.

If you prefer exploring on foot, with fewer mosquitos and less rain, you might want to visit during the dry season, but expect warmer weather, about 86°F – 95°F (30ºC – 35ºC), during the day. You might see more animals along the water’s edge, but the heat forces many of them, especially birds, to retreat deeper into the forest.

High-season for tourists tends to occur between June and September, as well as December and January; so, you may find higher prices and less availability during these months.

Duration: 2 Days

Departure time: 08:00am

Day 1 The activity begins at 08:45am departing from Baños to Hola Vida Reserve. We’ll be driving on the “Ruta de las Cascadas” (Highway of the Waterfalls), a route which like the name suggests, is filled with astonishing waterfalls. From here we head out on our guided tour to the waterfalls, swing over the middle of the forest, learn about the variety of plants that are present and if we’re lucky run into some wildlife. We then have a well-deserved lunch.

Once we’re done, we visit one of the local Quichua communities to learn about their culture and how they make their beautiful ceramics. To finish the tour, we travel by canoe downriver for approximately 30 minutes, until finally heading back to the cabins to rest./p>

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need any vaccine to enter the Amazon Jungle No, it is not necessary. However, you can consult your physician for information and advice before traveling to the Ecuadorian Amazon.

What is the weather on the Amazon Jungle like? It’s sunny all year-round, and like any other tropical rainforest, it can be hot and humid. The average year-round temperature is 27°C (80°F), with nights being slightly cooler. December to June is the rainy season, with April and May experiencing more rain, and temperatures normally between 23°C (73°F) and 30°C (86°F). July to November is the dry season, with temperatures from 26°C (78°F) to 40°C (104°F).

BAÑOS SAFETY TIPS

  • Make sure to use mosquito repellent. While the Rio Pastaza is not located in a malarial area, there have been rare cases of yellow fever reported. Aside from that, it’s just good practice to protect yourself against mosquitos so that you’re not covered with itchy and uncomfortable bug bites.
  • Wear sunscreen every day. Even when you don’t feel like you’re getting burned, the equatorial latitude and relatively high altitude of Baños can do a lot of damage to your skin.
  • Baños is a pretty safe town and petty crime is rare, but it’s still a good idea to avoid carrying too much cash on you.

Both guides speak English and Spanish and kept us well informed and entertained throughout the day. We travelled with a small group of six people in a little van. The program started at 09:00 and ended at 20:00 back in Baños. We recommend that tour highly!

My wife and I went white water rafting. Two words amazing and fun! William and pablito are an exceptional team. William is very knowledgeable and professional. We had a safety demonstration before getting in the wate. We had a lot of fun watching pablito and his kayaking skills. All the gear was in top shape the rapids of the Pastaza River were fantastic. I've never done this before and believe me it is 100% worth it.

Here you will see and practice serbatana, warrior face painting with a plant that can give us a temporary jungle tattoo!

And observe their local customs and dance, sometimes they bring some of their animals out as the Boa snake. And last get to their little shop where they sell hand made crafts with local seeds, feathers, local hunting arrows and local woods, as well as their clay pots and ornaments.

The Great South American Journey: Quito to Rio Adventure Tour

The Great South American Journey: Quito to Rio Adventure

This is the best G adventures tour I have done in terms of itinerary and people I was traveling with. I had a fantastic time with a great group of people. The only feedback I will give G is I feel the CEO guides are pressured to get 9s or 10s in their reviews and hence transmit that to us which made me not leave a review on the G website as I felt I could not be completely honest without harming the tour guides' rating. This culture should change if you want constructive feedback. I loved all 4 of my CEOs on my tour but 2 of them were outstanding (10/10s) and I felt as a result of above, I could not give them the credit they were due without causing harm to the other 2 who were also good but more 7/10s.

Great experience in the jungle with a great guide! Freddy was good with everyone making sure all were comfortable and accommodated.The itinerary was full of activities that were moved around due to various factors. The transportation was local buses, trucks and some hired. The bus ride was comfortable but a long five hours. I would recommend having your own snacks before getting on the bus. The accommodation was basic but expected with lovely hammocks for down time. The only surprise was no hot water at all. The best part for me were the meals provided. Great experience of local cooking and variety.

Ecuador Amazon Tours

Ecuador Amazon tours offer a unique chance to unlock some of the untouched secrets of this raw and pristine forest that occupies a third of the country to the east of the Andes. Begin your adventure with a short 30 minute flight from Quito across the Andes to the jungle city of Coca, known as the gateway to the Ecuadorian Amazon ever since Francisco de Orellana first navigated the river on his 1541 expedition.

From here take a luxurious Ecuador Amazon river cruise along the River Napo, and watch colorful toucans, macaws and tanagers on excursions to hidden clay licks that fringe the water, or ride in motorized and dugout canoes to a remote Ecuadorian rainforest lodge like the La Selva Lodge overlooking Garzacocha Lagoon or the Napo Wildlife Center on the banks of Añangu Lake, deep in the Yasuní National Park and the territory of the indigenous Kichwa people. Wildlife tours in Ecuador’s Amazonian Oriente are humming with life and boast a sweeping biodiversity.

4 Day Amazon Cuyabeno Adventure

Another Amazon Tours destination is Tena, located in Napo province . A small town near Cuyabeno but not as deep into the jungle so here, you are more in touch with the world in general. Nevertheless, you can still spot animals and get to know local communities. Transportation  to Napo is easier since you can get here by car or by bus.

The activities in Napo are more adventurous : like tubbing and rafting. Also, there are amazing routes to hike to the incredible waterfalls. You’ll have the chance to see the clay lick bank called Saladero . Hundreds of parrots and parakeets will come to lick the soil that is rich in minerals.

3 or 4 Day Amazon Napo Adventure

Yasuni Tours

This is one of the main destinations on Amazon Tours . The Yasuni Biosphere Reserve is the largest protected area in the Ecuadorian continental land. You can get here by plane or car. Then depending on your destination, you’ll have to get a boat. 

One of Rebecca Adventure Travel’s interns, Indi, went to the Yasuni National Park. In order to experience for herself the Amazon rainforest, “the head of the community was a woman, and they call her ‘ Abuela ’ which means grandmother in Spanish. She sang a song to welcome us, and we could try the traditional drink called ‘ Chicha ’. She was a very nice and strong lady, and it was nice meeting her and hearing her stories about life in the Amazon. ”

There are only a few lodges and more campsites, one’s more glamping style and others more rudimentary . Be aware that the campsites have no electricity so you will need power banks for your electronic devices. Since you are more deep into the rainfores t, your trip will be a more Amazonian lifestyle. The local communities will tell you how they live. And how they have adapted their traditions to the occidental way of living. 

If you are not sure which one of the Amazon Tours suits you. You can read about the 5 major differences between Cuyabeno and Yasuni Reserve.

And for real adventurers , the kayak tour is recommended. You will kayak from campsite to campsite . Which is hosted by the Kichwa communities of this very remote area.

Enjoy the Ecuadorian Amazon region, special memories are guaranteed!
