'''Río Pastaza''' perhaps there is a river boat from between [[Puyo]] and Macas in Ecuador down the Río Pastaza (border town named Andoas), to San Lorenzo/Yurimaguas in Perú. Let us know if you're aware this route exists!
'''Río Napo''' between Nuevo Rocafuerte/[[El Coca]] in Ecuador and Cabo Pantoja/[[Iquitos]] in Perú. [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] crossed this border in May 2017 in opposite direction and wrote extensively about this trip and made a video [https://mindofahitchhiker.com/iquitos-peru-coca-ecuador-river-boat/ here]! Immigration offices are in Nuevo Rocafuerte and Cabo Pantoja.IMPORTANT: when trying to leave Ecuador to Colombia via Tulcán border crossing, it turned out [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]]'s entry stamp from Nuevo Rocafuerte was not entered in the electronic system - guess what, the connection in the jungle isn't that great! She was turned away to make copies of her passport (three of the main page, three of the entry stamp page) and return. The lady who copies your passport is in a little booth 40 meters from the immigration office. The six pages will cost you $0.60 and then the officer is happy. Realize when crossing the Nuevo Rocafuerte border, you'll need to take a little more time to exit Ecuador because of your silly (but great) stamp!
'''Güeppi''' is the (northernmost) Peruvian town on the tri-border with Ecuador and Colombia on the banks of the river Putumayo. There is a Peruvian military base here. To enter via Ecuador, enter the Putumayo river from the town Puerto El Carmen de Putumayo, or another village at the river connected by road. Getting here via any of the Ecuadorian or Colombian rivers would be both an incredible adventure and a hassle. One can follow the Río Putumayo downstream until Tarapaca in Colombia on the border with Brazil. Eventually, the river will enter the majestic Amazon river. Let us know if you did it!
