The province of Napo shares the geographic characteristics of the provinces of the amazonian region. The typical thing of this region is its great sylvan plain, cover of millenarian and dense vegetation. The forests are formed by trees of the most varied species. This region in its western part is occupied by the declivities and spurs of the indigenous parcialización, the one that allow to know its customs, as well as the wild life and the nature in all its splendor, in the parts not yet trod by the white man. All tourist excursion must necessarily come near to the rivers to sail them although it is in short stretches. Napo, in its original extension, was divided to create the province of Sucumbíos that now is in the North part of the old province of Napo. In this amazonian region the main elevations are: Reventador volcano (3,485 ms) and located today in the province of Sucumbíos), is the youngest volcano, closely together of the skirts of the Eastern mountain range. The other volcano is the Sumaco (3,828 M.s) whose lava have been spilled covering the sediments with the Cretáceo. The reductions of the mountain range are smooth and fall as they lie down to the Eastern region, leaving plains that are interrupted by the channel of the rivers. The hydric system is formed by all the rivers that descend from the Eastern mountain range of the $andes and run towards the great Amazon river. The channels are very wide, with great meanders and continuously the rivers change of I milk, which has happened from remote times. A recent change took place in some rivers as a result of the earthquake that devastated an ample zone of this region (March of l987). The Tourism has great attractive in the Province of the Napo, beginning by the nature and extraordinary beauty of this world of resistances, from the elevations of more than 5,700 meters of altitude of Antisana to low plains of 200 meters on the level of the sea. The cities and populations cantonal heads have comforts and advantages of hotel services, electrical energy, training centers and collections of museum, that are interesting for the cultural and scientific tourism; just like the knowledge of the native towns and the original tribes of this American earth, its peculiar languages, uses and customs. The forest is a great reserve of species and samples of the most beautiful and rare trees, plants and flowers that are also reason for study and experimentation by their powerful virtues. The hunting and the fishing are others of the attractiveness for the tourists, as well as safaris to the interior of the province, to valleys and shores of the beautiful currents and Lagos like of the Rivers Putumayo, Aguarico, Napo. There is a service of floating hotel for the route of the paradisiac regions of the Napo. ATTRACTIVE TOURIST: Tena: This city, capital of the province of the border Napo and with Orellana, is located next to the rivers Tena, Misahuallí and Pano. The city has a monument to the Jumandí ringleader and another one to the Auca. It is to 500 ms of height and its climate is warm and humid.

In the port Francisco of 0rellana they divide Tours numerous tourist, between which it emphasizes the passage of the river from San Carlos to Spring in the 0rellana Flotel (Floating Hotel). In this route the lagoon of Limoncocha is visited. All the populations of the Amazonia are sites from which interesting excursions can be initiated. The company of an expert guide of the zone is advised. The caves of Jumandi: To 5 km. of Archidona are the caverns of Jumandí that are permeable calcareous rock formation natural that with the course of the time has allowed to the stalactite formation and stalagmites in capricious and surprising distribution.

This park lodges to the eagle arpía, anteaters, guacamayos, jaguars, anacondas, manatíes, giant dolphins of fresh water, armadillos, giant primates, tigrillos and otters. The problem that exists is that more than half of the park it has been delimited for the “industrial use”, that is for the oil operation, which puts in danger all the natural and biological wealth of the zone. The Napo river: The Napo is not only the most important river of the province but “most considerable and first of the Republic” according to geographer Manuel Villavicencio in his Geography said to it. Its origin is in the Jatunyacu river that gathers waters of the rivers that form in the Eastern deserts of the Cotopaxi, in those of the Quilindaña and in defrostings of Antisana. Before going into in the amazonian region it receives waters of the Mulatos river. After the confluence with the Anzu it receives the name of Napo and it begins to be navigable. It takes a northeastern direction until being with the Coca river; it follows until the suroriente and it receives to the Aguarico river. Main affluents by their left margin are the Misahuallí rivers (formed by the rivers Soot, Urcusiqui and Jondachi) the Suno river, Cocaine, Jivino and Aguarico. By his other margin it receives to the Arajuno, the Tiputini and the Yasuní, about whose opening is based New Rocafuerte. Misahuallí port: Small town, located to the east of Tena (about 30 minutes), and port of boats of the Napo River. It has good tourist infrastructure and variety of excursions that to realize by its environs. However, one is not virgin forest, since the region is colonized for decades. It does not prevent to continue enjoying a great variety of birds, tropical flowers, butterflies of colors and other insects. The few indigenous tribes who are remain in the most recondite parts, between the complex orography that characterizes the area, with an undulating and rustic territory that reaches 400m. The Coca river: This he is another one of the great affluents of the Napo river and its route is in the present province of Sucumbíos. In its course superior Consanga is called (it is born in Antisana) and receives waters of the Papallacta river and the Oyacachi. Following the course of the Cosanga and the Cocaine, the expedition of Gonzalo Pizarro discovered the Napo river. Then, 0rellana continued until the discovery of the Amazon river l2 of February of l.542. The Coca river has acquired importance because near him were rich oil wells.
