Baeza is a big village half way between Quito and the Amazonian forest. It's also where the road splits in two: for Lago Agrio towards the north and Tena and Puerto Misahualli towards the south.

My suggestion
You should only stop at Baeza if you have rented a car. If you are in a bus, you can go straight on to the Amazon.
Humidity, blasts of hot air, heavy traffic... Embark for Guayaquil, the largest city of Ecuador even though Quito is the capital. We're off for a visit of the "Pearl of the Pacific", from its landscaped river promenade (the Malecón 2000) to the cerro Santa Ana, not to mention the city centre!
Ecuadorian Amazonia possesses the densest biodiversity in the world. With its 6034 square kilometres, the reserve is an incredible mix of rivers and flooded forests (due to the large quantities of annual rainfall in the Amazon). The result? A part of the Amazon that is unique and which will not leave you unaffected...
