Instructions How To Get From Coca To Iquitos By Boat

The whole trip we divided in three parts according to three boats you have to take.


Coca (San Francisco de Orellana) => Rocafuerte

In Coca you'd better spend one day preparing for the trip. You can read about Bimbino and Bambina's preparations here.

First, you have to find a boat to Nuevo Rocafuerte. There were two companies offering this route.

From Coca to Rocafuerte

Puerto Francisco de Orellana => Nuevo Rocafuerte

The boat to Nuevo Rocafuerte was leaving at 9 am, so the monkeys didn't have to rush in the morning. They arrived a bit in advance at the gates of the office, where the salesladies told them to be. The boat was leaving though from the main harbor which was located a couple of hundred meters away.

The boat was able to accommodate around 100 people in quite comfortable seats similar to what you usually have in mini-busses. Other boats on the Coca – Rocafuerte route usually have two long benches, one at each side.
