2 Day Amazon Tour: Our 2025 detailed guide from how to get there, prices and much more!

The Jungle Tour is located in the small town of Baños. Considered the “gateway to the Amazon”, Baños located in eastern Ecuador. The best way to get to this scenic town from other places in Ecuador is to take an Ecuador Hop bus. Our hop on hop off service helps you safely travel throughout the country and see some real hidden gems along the way. With Ecuador Hop, you’ll experience the best of the real Ecuador including many unique free stops, all on your own flexible schedule.

Itinerary:
Day 1
The activity begins at 08:45am departing from Baños to Hola Vida Reserve. We’ll be driving on the “Ruta de las Cascadas” (Highway of the Waterfalls), a route which like the name suggests, is filled with astonishing waterfalls. From here we head out on our guided tour to the waterfalls, swing over the middle of the forest, learn about the variety of plants that are present and if we’re lucky run into some wildlife. We then have a well-deserved lunch.
Once we’re done, we visit one of the local Quichua communities to learn about their culture and how they make their beautiful ceramics. To finish the tour, we travel by canoe downriver for approximately 30 minutes, until finally heading back to the cabins to rest./p>
Day 2
