Coca, El Coca, or Puerto Francisco de Orellana, is a city located in eastern Ecuador in the Amazon Rainforest in the confluence of the Coca River and the Napo River. It was found in the sixties by Capuchines and was a missionary post for the fast Christianization of the Huaorani people.
The official name of the city, Puerto Francisco de Orellana, is taken from Francisco de Orellana, who explored the confluence of the Coca River and the Napo River. It is believed that he set sail from the current location of the town eventually making his way into the Amazon River seeing the "Amazon" or tribes in which the women also fought.
