Several passengers disembark from a public bus while a man helps unload packages.
Tena is one of the most important trading villages of the eastern part of Ecuador. The bustling town of 13,000 people presents a stark contrast to the vast tracts of surrounding rainforest. Many of Tena’s residents are Quechua-speaking Andean Indians who continue to practice traditional customs that date from before the arrival of the Spaniards.
