10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Napo Province That You Shouldn't Miss

March 5, 2022 Deane Carmody

Napo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈnapo]) is a province in Ecuador. Its capital is Tena. The province contains the Napo River. The province is low developed without much industrial presence. The thick rainforest is home to many natives that remain isolated by preference, descendants of those who fled the Spanish invasion in the Andes, and the Incas years before. In 2000, the province was the sole remaining majority-indigenous province of Ecuador, with 56.3% of the province either claiming indigenous identity or speaking an indigenous language.

Jumandi Caves

Reviewed By 33arsenk

Beautiful cave system, the second largest in Ecuador, run by local Quechua community. The entrance fee is only 5,5 USD and it's totally worth it. Beware that actual entrance is not through the main complex run by municipality (with pools, toboggans, restaurants etc) but 200m further towards Quito, through the community. Be ready to get wet, so bring the clothes and the shoes/boots (although you can rent it there for small fee). The tour is guided by the local guide. The cave is quite wide and it has only a couple of meters of narrow passage, but not too narrow. There are a couple of small waterfalls and pools inside, so you can take a bath. :) We saw a lot of animals (which surprised me): bats, spiders, fish, shrimps and one very strange animal that resembles a huge spider, but is actually something like scorpion without the tail. The tour lasted around 45-60 min and after that we were invated to drink wayusa, energetic drink made from the local tree with the same name. We were told about local customs and traditions and in the end we bought some nice handcrafts and natural medicine to support the local economy. It was great experience that I would like to repeat and I sincerely recommend it to everyone.
