Cuyabeno 3 Days 2 Nights Tour

Cuyabeno 3 Days Tour. The Ecuadorian Amazon is a vast tropical rainforest filled with extraordinary biodiversity, ranging from delicate orchids to towering ceibo trees. This incredible ecosystem is home to countless species of birds, insects, amphibians, and other wildlife.

Cuyabeno is an ideal destination for nature lovers, students, biologists, explorers, and adventure travelers seeking a true connection with the jungle. During the tour, we navigate through a network of 14 lagoons by canoe, where the famous pink river dolphins can sometimes be spotted in specific areas. Our lodge is located just five minutes from one of the places where they are commonly seen.

Even though the lodge is deep in the rainforest, it offers a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by nature. Watching the sunset over Laguna Grande, breathing the fresh jungle air, and waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys are unforgettable experiences that can only be enjoyed in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
