Tena

About

Just steps away from the Amazon Rainforest, Tena is a city most famous for its adventure sports, attracting visitors from all over the world since the area played host to the 2005 World Rafting Championships. Adrenaline junkies should look no further than Tena for an expedition through the remote jungle and rainforest as they crash through the white-water rapids in kayaks or rafts. There are options for complete beginners and courses suited to experienced daredevils, as well as alternatives suitable for families. For a calmer visit, the Parque Amazónico is a small botanical garden with several species of birds and mammals that are in danger of extinction. There is no shortage of jungle tours available in the town and the impressive landscape could fool you into thinking you’ve stepped onto an action movie set. Remember: it’s a rainforest, so plan for rain year-round!
