Puerto Misahuallí
A rainforest port where the Napo and Misahuallí rivers meet. Capuchin monkeys often roam the central plaza, and it is the departure point for canoe trips.
Puerto Misahuallí lies about 25 km from Tena. It was once a river port on the Amazon's shipping routes and is now a hub for backpackers and jungle lodges. A troop of capuchin monkeys lives in the big trees of the central plaza and will approach visitors to steal food, so keep glasses, phones and snacks well stowed. Below the plaza lie the Napo River beach and riverside promenade, where you can swim and watch the sunset. The town has many travel agencies offering canoe trips, jungle hikes and community tours. It is about 45 minutes by bus from Tena.
