We still made the most of the experience and were pleased for the wellies and ponchos we were given when we arrived. I still managed to get covered in mud though and am not sure if my clothes will recover. We saw a few animals and bugs that we http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/East/Misahualli/blog-290126.html Misahualli is pleasantly located at the congruence of the rivers Misahualli and Napo and is a gateway to Amazonia. From this sleepy 700soul village one can go on hikes into the jungle on boat trips on the Napo river visit jungle lodges or even take a 12day boat trip down to Iquitos in Peru. If I had endless time I would be very much tempted to do it...But alas it is not so...I stayed in the http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/East/Misahualli/blog-289739.html Having left the jungle we took a bus from Lago Agrio to a town called Tena arriving in the middle of the night around 3 am on the 1st of June. Not having a clue where to go we jumped into a taxi and asked him to take us to a hotel nearby which luckily turned out to be a nice place. The next day we went to a nearby jungle town Misahualli hoping to check out a Mariposario Butterfly Farm. Unfort http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/East/Misahualli/blog-283534.html I headed out of town today to a small place called Misahualli. It was a alright place but a bit small for my liking I sat on the beach on the side of the river for a while and watched the monkeys. In the afternoon I caught a bus and headed to a waterfall. It was really cool as you had to walk through some rainforest for about an hour and then you reached the waterfall. It wasn't massive but very http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/East/Misahualli/blog-259401.html 6am and were off to the jungle its our groups turn to make lunch today so we pull over at the side of the road to make ham and cheese rolls and salad.

After trying unsuccesfully to book a tour we headed to a small town called Misahualli in the hope of finally getting a tour. The small town of Misahualli is also famous for a group of monkeys that live in the town square. Many people have told us that the monkeys are crazy and real trouble makers however we had to see for http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/East/Misahualli/blog-146924.html La conscience environementale mot inconnueDans la bus ou a pied on voit des choses vraiment pas beau a voir Ta une pancarte dans un parc qui est marque Pas jeter de dechet amande 5000.
