Puerto Misahuallí, Amazon rainforest port town in Napo Province, Ecuador.

The town sits at the convergence of the Misahuallí and Napo Rivers, surrounded by dense tropical forest where capuchin monkeys roam freely.

The settlement emerged during the 1941 war when people from the Napo River banks sought refuge in this area, leading to its establishment as a parish in 1969.

The population includes 75 percent Kichwa indigenous communities who maintain their traditional practices, music, dances, and artisanal crafts.

Puerto Misahuallí connects to Quito through a four-hour drive on paved roads, with regular bus services operating between the port and Tena city.

The AmaZOOnico Animal Rescue Center houses regional species including toucans, jaguars, and anacondas, offering visitors direct contact with Amazon wildlife.
