How the days usually unfold
(The itinerary adapts to weather, wildlife, and the group)
Day 1 — Arrival and first contact with the jungle
The adventure begins at 11:00 a.m. at the entrance of the Cuyabeno Reserve. From there, you will start a canoe journey along the river to the lodge, lasting approximately three hours, while observing monkeys, birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch and have time to settle in and relax. In the afternoon, you will head back out to explore the river and lagoon in search of more wildlife. If conditions allow, you may swim and enjoy the sunset.
At night, you will take a canoe excursion to observe caimans. After dinner, those who wish can join guided talks on topics such as Amazonian culture, local communities, flora, fauna, and conservation.
Day 2 — Forest, rivers, and wildlife
After breakfast, you will take a guided walk of approximately four hours through primary rainforest, where your naturalist guide will share knowledge about medicinal plants, insects, frogs, birds, and other elements of the jungle.
After lunch at the lodge, there will be time to rest. Later, you will learn the traditional process of making coffee and chocolate and prepare them yourself.
In the afternoon, you will explore narrow waterways in a traditional paddled canoe and enjoy the sunset on the river. Under the right conditions, it is possible to spot pink river dolphins. Upon returning to the lodge, you will prepare for a night walk.
After dinner, you will have the opportunity to try different traditional Amazonian drinks.
Day 3 — Sunrise and departure
Very early in the morning, you will head out to explore the river in search of birds and enjoy the sunrise in the jungle. You will then return to the lodge for breakfast and to pack your belongings.
The return canoe ride includes one last exploration of the Cuyabeno River, lasting about two hours, before arriving back at the entrance of the reserve around 11:00 a.m., where you will continue with your onward transportation.
