Explore the geography of the Ecuadorian Amazon through online games and activities in Eduweb.com's Amazon Interactive. Learn about the rainforest and the Quichua people who call it home. Discover the ways in which the Quichua live off the land. Then try your hand at running a community-based ecotourism project along the Río Napo.
