So I really looked forward to this weekend trip.<\/p><p>The bus left at 6:00 pm and the ride would take about five hours as I was told.<\/p><p>It was a pretty comfortable bus with nice seats and good movies. The ride lead via Papallacta further down to Baeza and then down, down, down to Tena. When I held my head close to the window I could start to scent the typical smell of the rain forest. It is this aroma that in Europe we only know from the green houses of botanical gardens. For me, this smell has a very important meaning \u2013 it always reminds me of my first real contact with Latin Amerika: when I got off the plane in San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica, in 2010.<\/p><p>However, after passing Baeza, I started to feel pretty bad because of the many serpentine curves. So I asked the drivers\u2019 assistant if it was possible to sit in the front next to the driver. It was and it helped a lot. I soon felt better and could admire the drivers\u2019 capabilities to move the bus along this challenging road.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49daac93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"49daac93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Arriving in Tena<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5627369 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5627369\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Around 11:30 pm we finally reached Tena. I moved into a hostel near the bus terminal, had a quick midnight snack at a kiosk and fell asleep after a few minutes. The next day I woke up pretty early and couldn\u00b4t wait to get out to explore the town and its surroundings. It was already warm and humid as always in the region. There were only few people on the street and I found a nice little cafeteria where I had breakfast.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cb30e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2cb30e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to see in Tena<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ceb3751 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ceb3751\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Afterwards, I continued walking to get an idea of the town and to get to know the center. Downtown Tena is small but nice and you have to cross a bridge over one of the three rivers that pass through the town.<\/p><p>About four blocks from the main square there exists a large park. It seems pretty new and offers a long race track, diverse sports ground, playgrounds, etc. I was quite impressed by so much sports options that can be found in this small town. I decided to return to the bus station soon because I still had many plans for the rest of the day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00bdc77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"00bdc77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-Tena-Park.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18791\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-Tena-Park.webp 800w, https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-Tena-Park-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-Tena-Park-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cd6260 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3cd6260\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On my way to the park I had seen public busses that had \u2018Terminal\u2019 written on a sign in the front window. I hopped on. What I hadn\u2019t considered was that the busses here have the same sign put on along their complete trip and if you don\u2019t know the route, your personal destination might be the starting point of the trip and you would go all the way round. So did I and my ride to the terminal turned out a little longer than I had expected. The bus drove out the town, dropping and collecting people. After about 10 minutes we reached the turning point, which was, to my surprise, the entrance road to Hakuna Matata Lodge, one of the jungle lodges we work with in our <a href=\"https:\/\/soleq.travel\/amazon-ecuador-tours\/\">rainforest tours<\/a>. The bus drove back to the town and finally reached the terminal. I obtained information about the times for the busses to Puerto Misahuali.<\/p><p>I had been looking forward to see this village at the riverside mainly because of the tame monkeys that could be spotted there. At the same time I was a bit worried because I had heard that they would steal hats, glasses and even cameras and cellphones from the visitors. But anyways I really wanted to see them.<\/p><p>While waiting for the bus which would come at 10:30 I had a nice conversation with an older man who lives in Puerto Misahuali. He told me stories about the monkeys and also that there where many foreigners living in and around Puerto Misahuali who own hotels and jungle lodges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-191f8e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"191f8e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Misahuali<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46cb61c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46cb61c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The bus came and after about 40 minutes we arrived in Puerto Misahuali. It is a small village directly located at the Napo river. After passing the boat tour sellers I went down to the wide river beach and was amazed by the green tropical surrounding. When I got back to the stairs that lead from a square to the beach I saw the first monkeys balancing on the handrail, jumping in the trees and posing for the visitors\u2019 cameras. They were absolutely not shy and obviously used to being fed. I could have watched them for hours but I wanted to continue my journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e2a07c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7e2a07c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3-Monkey-Misahuali-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18792\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3-Monkey-Misahuali-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3-Monkey-Misahuali-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/soleq.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3-Monkey-Misahuali-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6372a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6372a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I had read about a biological reserve between Puerto Misahuali and Ahuano that I wanted to visit. I crossed a bridge over the Napo river and followed a smaller street to a cross road.

I got there quite early and was surprised to find it closed with a guardian at the entrance. There were a couple of young students as well waiting to get in because they had to do some experiments for their school course. The reason we could not get in at these early hours on our own was security as the guardian told us: Since it had not rained so much lately, the river level was pretty low and people could cross it easily to reach the \u201cisland\u201d, also the bad ones. Hard to believe on such a sunny day in this green paradise.
