Known locally as Coca, this oil-boom river town sits at the confluence of the Coca and Napo rivers and serves as the main gateway to Yasuní National Park. Most travelers pass through its airport and docks en route to jungle lodges, but the riverfront promenade and Amazonian park museum merit a few hours.
