To get from Quito to Coca, there's no reason to involve Lago Agrio...there are buses and flights from Quito to Coca on TAME or Icaro, several times per day. There's also a relatively clean motel in Nuevo Roca Fuerte. There is also a river collectivo (or there was last year) that makes a once a month trip from Pantoja (the Peruvian border) to Iquitos. And, I believe they've added an immigration office on at least the Peruvian border side. To shorten the trip by about a 1/2 day, unload when you reach Mazan and you can take a motocycle "chariot" across a peninsula to the Amazon and catch a speed boat collective for less that $5 to Iquitos.
