Amazon Cuyabeno & Papallacta - 5 days
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
Begin in Quito and wrap up back in Quito on this five day journey blending the Amazon with the Andes. Travel overland then by canoe deep into the Cuyabeno Reserve, where you’ll explore primary rainforest with a naturalist guide, spot birdlife and – with luck – pink dolphins, and head out after dark in search of caimans and nocturnal creatures. You’ll visit a Tarapuy family to make traditional yuca bread, swim in Laguna Grande at sunset and enjoy unhurried lodge time. Round things off in Papallacta’s thermal pools – a soothing finale after the jungle. Expect wildlife, culture and laid back adventure.
