Search hotels in Puerto Misahuallí

we are already in Ecuador for the second time and have never made it to the rainforest yet, except for a really bad one day tour we took from Banos, so we were quite excited for Misahualli. maybe too excited. the village is cute, but you have seen it in like 20 minutes. you'll see some monkeys being fed by tourists (which you should not, but they still do) and you can book trips to various things. We were not so lucky with our second rainforest tour too so we were quite dissapointed. they charged us 120 dollars for a 5 hours walk through the forest and a lunch package that contained 2 white breads with one slice of cheese and a batch of peanut butter. I think you can have great time here if you either really seek for relaxation, hanging in hammocks, do nothing (Restaurants: we really liked the cute Mexican place with amazing quesadillas and pizza and the little Cafe Resto Papakuna!), or wanting to go on crazy trips and tours and that's super your thing. other than that one day Misahualli is perfectly enough.

Its a small little town with lot of monkeys. You have the chance to visit amazoonico , parrot clay licks, do rainforest walks, plane ride over the amazon. Butterfly house. Easy to spend there time. We were eating at the hotel what was excellent. Hotel os organizing you transfer.

Be sure to take a late afternoon/early evening ride on the Napo River to appreciate the area and afterwards sample the local dish Maito de pescado- a whole river fish grilled in banana leaves served with lemon slices, a side of tomato and red onion salad, and plantains with a glass of local guayusa tea. We paid $5 for the complete meal including an added liter of cold beer.

Puerto Misahuallí has many different things to offer: if you feel adventurous, join one of the trips to the jungle and local communities. If you feel like relaxing, you can hang out at the beach. In any case you should try the local way of preparing chicken and fish: Maito. It is super delicious!

I actually live here and love the village of Misahuallí. I love dining at La Tasca and La Posada and walking along the path by el Rio Misahuallí to get to Runa Wasi where they serve refreshing guayusa tea in hand-crafted bowls and cups. The monkeys in the park are awesome to watch, but I wish that tourists wouldn’t feed them inappropriate foods.

Nice little Amazon town. Great for birdwatching. Laguna Paikawe canoe tour across bridge great experience, hoatzins awesome. El Jardin across bridge luxurious affordable dining experience - yummy coconut shrimps al fresco. Sandflies only downside, but manageable.
