Tena is on the edge of the Amazon rainforest so we booked a two-day trip. Walked the first morning in welly boots to a small (very small!) indigenous community where we washed in the river and spent the night in a hut - really peaceful, no electricity. Our 6am bird watching trip was rained off - it was pouring so we lay in bed listening to the rain on the palm roof. Floated down the swollen river in a small canoe in still pouring rain - well, it's supposed to rain 250 days a year here, worse than Dartmoor! Cleared up late afternoon when we were back in Tena.
Spent the next day with the locals at river swimming pools and a sort of beach in glorious sunshine!
Now in Quito, where they closed the city centre on Sunday for bikes only, ready to fly to Madrid on Monday night, home Wednesday.
