Small gateway serving Ecuador's Amazon rainforest region.

Location
Ahuano, Ecuador
Jumandy Airport (IATA: TNW, ICAO: SEJD) is a small regional airport located near Ahuano in the Napo Province of Ecuador. It serves as an access point to the upper Amazon basin, supporting light aviation and limited passenger services in a remote jungle setting. The airport is named after Jumandy, a legendary Quechua chief who led a historic rebellion in the 16th century. Given its location in the Amazonian lowlands, the facility primarily handles small propeller aircraft and serves communities with limited road connectivity. Regular commercial scheduled services at this airport are minimal, and it functions largely as a general aviation and local transport hub. Its role is primarily to connect remote indigenous and settler communities in the region to larger urban centers.
Getting to & from
Ground access to Ahuano and surrounding communities is available via local roads, though connectivity in this Amazon region remains limited.

City & Place Guide

A tranquil Amazonian village where jungle meets the Napo River.

Ahuano is a small indigenous community nestled along the Napo River in the Napo Province of Ecuador's Amazon basin. Surrounded by dense rainforest, it offers an authentic, unhurried glimpse into Kichwa culture and pristine Amazonian ecosystems far from the crowds of larger ecotourism hubs.

The village is a launching point for wildlife watching, canoe excursions, and visits to local Kichwa communities. Travelers come here seeking genuine cultural exchange, jungle lodges, and encounters with the extraordinary biodiversity of the Ecuadorian Amazon, including river dolphins, caimans, monkeys, and hundreds of bird species.

  • •Napo River — scenic canoe rides and sunset views over the wide jungle river.
  • •La Casa del Suizo — pioneering eco-lodge offering guided rainforest and cultural excursions.
  • •Kichwa Community Visits — hands-on experiences with traditional cooking, crafts, and ceremonies.
  • •Anaconda Island — a nearby island reserve popular for wildlife spotting and short hikes.
  • •Shamanic Ceremonies — local healers offer traditional plant-medicine rituals for curious visitors.
  • •Jungle Hiking Trails — guided treks into primary forest rich with flora, fauna, and birdsong.

Getting around: There is no rail service in the area; travelers typically reach Ahuano by bus from Tena (roughly 40 km away) followed by a motorized canoe crossing of the Napo River. Within and around the village, dugout canoes and motorized boats are the primary mode of transport. Mototaxis handle short overland trips, and lodges generally arrange all transfers for guests.

Best time: The drier months of December through February and June through August offer more manageable trails and reliable river travel, though the Amazon receives rain year-round.

Local food: Try maito de tilapia (fish steamed in bijao leaves), chicha de yuca (fermented cassava drink), and fresh hearts-of-palm dishes prepared in the Kichwa tradition.
