El Oriente occupies the lowlands of the Amazon basin, and for many years, the portion, south of the Pastaza river, was the subject of a border dispute between Ecuador and Peru and consequently not well visited.
This area is now more accessible, though it retains much of the wilderness feeling of mountain and rainforest. With the discovery of gold in Zambija, north of Zamora, interest and travel to El Oriente has boomed.
