Itinerary
Día 1
Arrival at the Lodge
After a short 35-minute flight to Coca, a representative will welcome you and transfer you along with the other guests to the dock. Here you will embark on a motorized canoe and begin your course downstream towards the Lodge. Your bags will go in a separate canoe with a manager and will be taken directly to your final destination. The canoe is very comfortable and has a cover in case of rain or strong sun. The trip is approximately 2 hours, but during the trip you can appreciate the flora and fauna around. Passengers will receive a snack during the journey. Upon disembarking, they will take a short walk to take another small canoe with their hand luggage. Arriving, you will be greeted with a cocktail and you will be given a short orientation talk about the lodge and its facilities. You will then be shown your room and have the opportunity to explore a little before dinner. During dinner, your group and the guide will agree on the activities for the next day. After dinner, depending on the weather and the desire of the group, you could do short activities, such as a night walk or a canoe tour around the lodge to admire the wildlife. Many guests prefer to rest in the lounge accompanied by a cold drink or instead take a relaxing massage at the Spa!

- As another alternative in the day's activities, there is the one-hour walk to the Mandi Cocha lagoon.
