Morning mist lifts off the Pastaza valley as you step from the minibús, the rainforest breathing beside the road and the Andes holding the horizon. On day one you move from lowland river canoes and indigenous homesteads into the heat and hum of Amazon forest; on day two ropes and wires take over — canyoning through waterfalls, a 900m zipline, a Tibetan bridge and the tree house overlook at 2,700 m.
