Top Tourist Attractions Ecuador

Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve

The 600,000+ ha Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is the only major Amazonian park in the world that can be reached over a paved road! Drive straight from capital Quito to our motorized canoes within the borders of the park, or even better, fly from Quito to Coca, where we pick you up on the airport and take you on a magnificent Amazon adventure! The Cuyabeno Lodge is Rainforest Alliance verified. The guides of our  lodge, are famous for their knowledge about birds as well as other Amazon Jungle Animals and Amazon Rainforest Plants. If you have really little time, you can join us on our new Cuyabeno Day Trip.

We now even offer a special tour to the most remote corner of the Amazon Region of Ecuador, the "Oriente", which is Lagartocoche, where you are on the border with Peru. You will explore both the Ecuadorian part, which still is the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve and in the Peruvian part in the Airp Pai Community Reserve, where you will be hosted in the Secuya village just across the border river Rio Lagartococha on the Peruvian side.

Rio Napo and Yasuni National Park

The Yasuni National Park lodges along the Narpo River are known to be extremely expensive. We did not like that, as we feel that national parks are for everybody. Therefore we developed the Yasuni National Park - Napo River program, which takes you to the highlights of the park and along the Rio Napo.
