Napo Province, Province with rainforest in Ecuador
Napo Province extends across 12,513 square kilometers of Ecuadorian territory, containing five cantons and numerous protected ecological reserves within the Amazon Basin.
The province was formally established on November 10, 1959, marking a significant administrative reorganization of Ecuador's eastern territories bordering the Amazon region.
Indigenous communities represent 56.8 percent of the population according to the 2010 census, maintaining their languages and traditional practices across the province.
The province operates under UTC-5 time zone, uses US dollars as currency, and connects to major cities through a network of intercantonal roads.
The Napo River system flows through dense rainforest territories, providing essential transportation routes for remote communities and access to ecological reserves.
