Our 3 days Amazonian jungle adventure tour offers you the perfect way to explore the Ecuadorian Amazon region if you are in a hurry. Travelling to the lodge is already an adventure, as you leave the summits of the Andes behind and enter to the Amazon basin. During the last part of the trip, a motorized canoe takes you along the Cuyabeno River through the rainforest. Be sure to have your camera ready, chances are you will already see some animals like monkeys, sloths, caimans, and of course different birds.
Spend two entire days exploring the Cuyabeno Reserve with its unique ecosystem of the flooded forest, looking for wildlife, and enjoying the calm. On the last day you leave the lodge early, so that you can travel back to Quito on the same day.
DAILY PROGRAM FOR THE CUYABENO 3 DAYS RAINFOREST ADVENTURE
Dia 1: Quito – Lago Agrio – Cuyabeno
Travel by bus from Quito to Lago Agrio leaving the day before your tour starts (the bus is not included for the tour price). From Lago Agrio our private transportation will take you to the park entrance (distance 100 Kms / 62 miles, travel time approx. 2 hours) where you will meet your guide. Depending on logistics we will either have lunch here in a local restaurant, or once you arrive at the lodge.
We will first travel by canoe along the Cuyabeno River to the lodge (approximately two hours). During our travel to the lodge your bilingual guide will explain you about the local flora and fauna. During the travel it is common to see monkeys as well as tropical birds for example toucans, macaws, and parrots.
After the arrival to the Lodge you will have some time to relax. Later that day we go to explore the beautiful Laguna Grande. If we are lucky we will have a chance to spot some pink river dolphins. You can enjoy the sunset from the canoe and go for a refreshing swim in the lake,
Dinner at the lodge. Fall asleep surrounded by the relaxing sounds of the jungle.
Dia 2
Probablemente los monos o los pájaros te despertarán por la mañana. Después del desayuno, un corto paseo en canoa lo llevará a uno de los senderos del Parque Nacional. Recorra el "bosque de tierra firme" y escuche a su guía explicarle la vida silvestre, las plantas medicinales del bosque, el ecosistema forestal y la vida indígena. Mientras observas de cerca la jungla, presta atención a los pequeños detalles que puedas ver: diferentes especies de hormigas que han perfeccionado la organización de sus colonias, pequeñas ranas venenosas escondidas bajo las hojas, insectos a la caza de su próximo harina u hongos que se apoderan y matan a pequeños organismos como insectos o arañas. Todos nuestros guías son expertos y estarán encantados de responder cualquier pregunta que pueda tener.
Después del almuerzo, recomendamos hacer una siesta durante la parte más calurosa del día. Podrás relajarte en tu habitación, en las hamacas o en el muelle. Más tarde, explorará más partes inundadas del bosque en canoa. Los fascinantes macrolobios cubiertos de abundantes epífitas son la planta más típica de esta zona. Intenta avistar monos y pájaros, y también busca delfines o anacondas.
Después de la cena, saque su linterna y camine por el bosque primario, buscando insectos como saltamontes gigantes, insectos palo, mantis religiosa y otros que salen por la noche y son fascinantes de ver de cerca. Si tienes suerte (y estás tranquilo), es posible que veas algunos de los otros animales nocturnos de la jungla, como monos nocturnos, búhos y diferentes tipos de roedores.
Dia 3
We will go for an early bird watching at 6am. The birds are most active during the morning and this is the best time to see them active and waking up with the jungle. After the sunrise we will return to the lodge for our last breakfast together. Departure from the Lodge is at 9:30am. We will travel by motor canoe to the park entrance. Our vehicle will take you back to Lago Agrio which is the end location of our tour. Return to Quito either by bus or private transportation.
