Amazon Adventures

Jungle Expeditions

  • Sitting down for a drink of chicha with an indigenous family deep in the rainforest you will understand that the forest and their way of life has not changed for thousands of years! You can learn something of the plants that have inspired many of our 'modern' medicines and the people that first discovered them.
    Using the rivers to gain access to the area we camp at night and from our campsites you can hike deep into the forest to see the animals and birds, as well as the spectacular trees and plants of the area. Everything is green and grows!

Using traditional dug out canoes we explore hidden lagoons deep in the forest to search for caymen, fish for piranha (catch and release), and watch monkeys swinging through the trees.

Jaguars, Monkeys, Anteaters, Sloth, Dolphins ( Inia Geoffrensis and Sotalia ), Manatees and Armadillos, are just some of the mammals that live in the Cuyabeno reserve. Amazing anacondas and fer de lances are some of the reptiles found, and the caimans too. Piranhas, Catfish, the gigantic Arapaima (reaching over 2 meters), and other species of fish thrive here in the black water rivers and lakes.
