Flying to the Amazon
August 16, 2018
When we were in Ecuador, we had to take a flight from Quito to Coca, which is a small town in the jungle. The tour company booked our flight for us, so we really knew nothing about it until we reached the airport. We knew that our flight was on a local airline and that it would take a little over 30 minutes to reach Coca, but that was all that we knew. In general, flying does not make us nervous, but this was not necessarily a typical flight.
Once the announcement occurred that it was time for us to board our flight, we walked out onto the tarmac to head towards our plane. It wasn’t a tiny plane, but it was small enough that we consider it to be a “puddle jumper”. Being in a small plane wasn’t a concern as we have flown in them many times in the past, but we immediately knew that the flight would likely be more bumpy as that is often the case in smaller planes.
The flight itself was over some interesting terrain as we had to fly over the Andes Mountains and then eventually over the Amazon Rainforest. Again, we’ve flown over mountains and forests in the past, but being in a smaller plane also meant that we would be flying at a lower altitude. While that would give us great views of the mountains and jungle, it also meant that we would be closer to the mountain peaks than we would have preferred.
In general, the flight was fine, but we definitely experienced quite a bit of turbulence. As we neared Coca, it became evident that it was a much smaller town than what we were expecting. It also made it clear why we needed to be in a smaller plane as the airport and runway were very small. It was really more of a clearing in the jungle with a small building than a traditional airport.
the view look beautiful
Nice shots
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful photos
Thank you 🙂
Wow, fantastic views, but that would have been a flight that would have definitely made me nervous (I don’t like flying!)!
This one made us a little nervous.
Glad you are able to write about it. I recall flying in 1973 in a small plane taking a sharp right turn by a hill before landing on a dirt strip on an island. As we turned, we were able to look at the cows above us — that is not the sort of situation I want to be in anymore.
That does not sound like fun 🙁
Great views and interesting experience 🙂
