Description

A smooth, paved road connects Coca via Loreto to Tena, passing by the southern entrance to this large and stunning slice of little-explored cloud forest. Nowhere else in Ecuador is there such a vast area totally free of development – making its myriad ecosystems, including thick rainforest, cloud forest, hidden caves and cliffs and bare, volcanic uplands – precious indeed.
