Before You Arrive

Before arriving, you should consider bringing items on our Packing List, and read over our list of FAQs.  For those wondering exactly where Yachana is located, we are about halfway between the cities of Coca and Tena along the Napo River. And one thing to point out is the Napo River flows in the northeast direction, putting Yachana about 2.5 hours "up river" and "southwest" from Coca as you can see on this map (click to enlarge).

 Support for Yachana's high school

Our friends at Pack for a Purpose provide an up-to-date list of items on Yachana Technical High School's wish list.  If you are interested in finding out how to make the most of that extra space in your suitcase or duffel bag and to see what you can take with you to improve our education program and quality of life for our students, click here to visit the Pack for a Purpose website to see how you can make a difference!
