The Area:
Waterdog Tours is based out of the town of El Chaco in the Quijos Valley of
Ecuador's Napo Province. Situated on the eastern flank of the Andes, the valley
is sandwiched between two large protected areas, the Cayambe Coca Ecological
Reserve and Sumaco National Park. The valley itself is part of the Sumaco
Biosphere Reserve and is considered a biodiversity hotspot for the wide range of
species found within its forests.
The surrounding ecosystems range from andean paramo (tundra), tropical
cloudforest, and into lower montane rainforest. The valley is home to amazing
birdlife, waterfalls, volcanos and other natural wonders. Hands down, this is one
of the most beautiful areas of Ecuador and there is not a better way to
experience it than from the River's point of view.
