1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Yasuní National Park is a vast protected wilderness in Ecuador's Amazon basin, covering around 9,800 square kilometres of primary rainforest, rivers, and wetlands. It is widely regarded as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, harbouring extraordinary concentrations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects, as well as thousands of plant species. The park overlaps with the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve and is home to indigenous Waorani communities, as well as uncontacted peoples living in voluntary isolation. Travellers visit for immersive jungle experiences including wildlife spotting, guided canoe trips through flooded forest, birdwatching, and stays at remote eco-lodges deep in the Amazon.

This self-launched version follows the same route (Quito → El Coca → Napo River → Yasuní) and replicates all the key experiences: canoe rides to the parrot clay lick, Kichwa community visits, jungle night walks, observation tower climbs, and a dawn river journey home. You'll book your own domestic flights (Quito–El Coca–Quito), arrange your own community ecolodge stay directly with lodges like Napo Wildlife Center or Sani Lodge, and join locally-run guided excursions.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Yasuní National Park, Ecuador yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
