Baeza (Ecuador) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

place in Napo Province, Ecuador

About Baeza (Ecuador)

It is the canton seat and home of the Quijos-Quichua indigenous people. Founded in 1559, it is located near the Quijos river on South America. It gets its name from the Spanish town of the same name. It's a quiet town that is rapidly coming into its own as a mountain town and lower-elevation stopover for travelers challenged by Ecuador's elevations. Its location at "The Y" (fork between routes to Lago Agrio/Coca and Tena) makes it a reasonable hub for exploring the area's attractions. Tourist infrastructure is very limited, but adequate and improving. There are two Baezas: Colonial Baeza (Baeza Antiguo) and New Baeza (Nueva Baeza). It's a 5-minute walk between the two.
