Some 75 km south of Baeza, Tena is the capital of Napo Province. This relaxed and friendly little city occupies a hill above the confluence of the rivers Tena and Pano. There are nice views of the Andean foothills, often shrouded in mist. Once an important colonial missionary and trading post, Tena remains a regional centre and has become popular with visitors for whitewater rafting and ethno-tourism. It makes a good first stop en route from Quito to points deeper in Oriente, and a number of worthwhile excursions can be organized from here.
