Adventure in Cuyabeno

After an early breakfast, we will visit the Laguna Grande, Cuyabeno's largest lake, by motorized canoe. During the excursion you will observe the exotic flora and fauna (monkeys, dolphins, etc.) peculiar to this region. After stopping for lunch, we will continue down the Cuyabeno River to the indigenous community of Puerto Bolivar. Here we will participate in the preparation of a typical yucca bread in the home of an indigenous family before returning to our base camp. Optional nocturnal walks and / or canoe rides may be requested free of charge.

After breakfast, we will continue to trek through the primary rainforest, exploring our longest trail for 3-4 hours in search of exotic plants, animals, and animal tracks. Our guide will indicate medicinal plants, native animals, and discuss local indigenous customs. In addition, we will have the opportunity to row down the river in native style canoes, fish for piranhas, and take a refreshing swim in the Cuyabeno River.

On day four we will explore one last trail, with new opportunities to see different vegetation and animals before taking you to the airport to go back to Quito.
