About the Trip: Travel by canoe, coach, and foot, circumnavigating central Ecuador, meeting native people and traversing some of the most beautiful places on earth. Visit the Cotopaxi National Park and volcano, take a dip in the waterfall, lounge in the healing hot springs, and go rafting up the Napo River on homemade rafts. This packed itinerary emphasizes adventure as much as it does relaxation, incorporating stays at the modern Sheraton, a rustic inn, and an Amazonian lodge on the Napo.
