7 Days - 360° Amazon Experience in Cuyabeno

Our adventure begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Meeting Point Restaurant in Lago Agrio. We then take private transport for about two hours to the town of Tierras Orientales, on the banks of the Aguarico River, where we enjoy a box lunch. From there, we begin a 3-hour motorized canoe journey downstream to “La Bocana,” the meeting point of the Aguarico and Cuyabeno rivers, with opportunities to spot pink river dolphins and learn about the rainforest. We continue 30 minutes upstream on the Cuyabeno River to reach our lodge inside the reserve, observing wildlife along the way. After arriving and settling in, we enjoy dinner and join an optional night walk to discover nocturnal creatures.
