Itinerary

Your journey into the wild begins at “El Puente,” where a fresh Amazonian box lunch awaits. Step aboard a motorized canoe for a 2–3 hour ride along the narrow, winding Cuyabeno River, a waterway alive with monkeys swinging in the treetops, vibrant tropical birds, and maybe even a lazy sloth. Upon arriving at your Amazon Lodge, settle into your cozy room and unwind. After a delicious dinner, your guide will introduce you to the wonders of the Cuyabeno Reserve and the adventures ahead.

After breakfast, glide silently along the river in a killa de remo, a traditional canoe crafted from chuncho wood. Paddle into the breathtaking Laguna Grande, passing through the flooded Igapo forest and towering Macrolobium trees. Hike the Palma Roja trail to spot exotic birds, playful monkeys, and rainforest treasures before enjoying a picnic lunch by the lake. In the afternoon, search for orchids and butterflies, and if the weather smiles upon you, swim in warm waters while the Amazon sunset paints the sky. Back at the lodge, dinner is followed by a magical night walk in search of frogs, owls, and other nocturnal wonders.

Here, a local shaman will share ancestral knowledge of medicinal plants and perform a traditional healing ceremony. After lunch, visit the Siona community to learn the centuries-old art of making cassava bread.

Venture deep into the reserve by motorized canoe to reach the peaceful Canagueno Lake. Switch to your killa de remo to navigate its tranquil waters, surrounded by lush grasslands and the calls of Jacanas, hoatzins, egrets, and greater anis. Delicate orchids bloom in hidden corners, adding color to this pristine wilderness. After lunch back at the lodge, enjoy a relaxing afternoon and your final sunset over the Amazon. In the evening, gather for a farewell passion fruit cocktail and meet the incredible Lodge team who made your journey unforgettable.
