Frequently asked questions
About Nueva Loja
Nueva Loja, also known as Lago Agrio, is a city located in the Sucumbíos province of Ecuador. The official currency used in Ecuador is the US Dollar. Nueva Loja is known for its proximity to the Amazon Rainforest, offering unique opportunities for eco-tourism and wildlife exploration. The city is also a hub for the oil industry, attracting both business travelers and adventurers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences.
When to visit
The best time to visit Nueva Loja is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to September. During this time, the weather is more predictable, with sunny days and lower chances of rain. However, if you're interested in birdwatching or experiencing the lush greenery of the rainforest, the wet season from October to May might be more suitable for you.
Getting around
Getting around Nueva Loja is relatively easy, with taxis being the most common mode of transportation. You can also rent a car to explore the surrounding areas at your own pace. For longer distances, buses are available and offer a budget-friendly option for traveling within the region.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack insect repellent and lightweight, breathable clothing to stay comfortable in the humid climate. Be prepared for sudden rain showers by carrying a waterproof jacket or poncho. Respect the local indigenous communities and their customs when visiting the nearby villages. Keep an eye out for wildlife, such as monkeys and colorful birds, while exploring the rainforest trails. Don't forget to try the local cuisine, which often features fresh seafood and tropical fruits.
