Things to know
About the Activity
This unique Amazon experience enables you to experience the jungle in a unique way. Cuyabeno is one of the most biodiverse nature reserves on Earth. There, you can spot over 500 bird species, 100 mammals, and over 400,000 plant species. In addition, enjoy local food, canoe rides, paddling, and swimming for the more adventurous! During those 4 days, you will learn more about the 5 indigenous ethnic groups living along the banks. Waita Lodge is the only community-based lodge of the reserve. Therefore, by booking with Ecuatraveling, you contribute to the economic growth of the area. On top of that, Waita is an ecolodge, so staying there ensures environmental conservation and cultural preservation. Those are extremely important since Cuyabeno Reserve is under threat from the oil industry and deforestation and it is critical to ensure its sustainability through travel!4 days

Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve
EcuadorOur adventure starts at 9:30 at Hotel D'Mario for people arriving by bus to the city of Lago Agrio. We then take a private bus to Tierras Orientales (2 hrs), located on the banks of the Aguarico River. You receive a Box Lunch while we prepare the motor canoe. The journey downstream Aguarico River takes about 3 hrs. We reach the bocana place, where the river Aguarico joins the river Cuyabeno. Here, the landscape is incredible and you can observe without difficulty the pink dolphins of freshwater. You can also see the great difference between the secondary forest and the primary forest. After enjoying this spectacle, we ride 30 more minutes upstream on the river Cuyabeno and arrive at our Amazon Lodge. Along this route, try to spot monkeys, birds, reptiles, and aquatic mammals.
At the Lodge, we have time to relax. After dinner, we go on a night walk around the camp in search of interesting nocturnal species (insects, spiders, amphibians, tree snakes, etc).8 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationAccommodation
