Where the intact forest meets the ancestral culture: a true Amazon journey.
Your adventure begins with the transfer to Lake Agrio, the main entrance door to Cuyabeno. From there, the experience becomes increasingly remote and exciting.
The peak of the arrival is the motorized canoe trip to the deep of the reserve, sailing through sinuous rivers of black waters surrounded by dense forest. Wildlife sightings usually begin during this transfer, marking the tone of the following days.
