3 Days Tour at Caiman Eco Lodge

Description

Tour Duration: 3 Days 2 Nights

Day 1:
We will meet in Lago Agrio between 8:00 am and 9:00 am, where we will take our private Caiman transport to the entrance of the Cuyabeno Reserve. It will take approximately 2 hours to reach the reserve office, where you will check in and have a brief talk with our naturalist guide about the Cuyabeno Reserve. You will receive important recommendations and other tips to begin the two-hour canoe trip down the Cuyabeno River to Caiman Lodge. During the canoe trip, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful flora and fauna found in the jungle. Depending on time and weather conditions, you may also see some of the 10 species of monkeys, birds, and other jungle animals. We will arrive at Caiman Lodge around 1:30 pm, where we will have lunch. After lunch, you will be assigned to your rooms and have some time to relax. At 4:30 pm, we will depart by motor canoe to explore the flooded jungle, where you will have the opportunity to see a variety of flora and fauna, including sloths, pink dolphins, and more. We will take a tour around the Laguna Grande and watch the sunset. Then we will return to the camp for dinner and enjoy a welcome cocktail. We will go out in search of caimans, snakes, and nocturnal birds from the motor canoe to finish your first day in the jungle.

Day 2:
After breakfast at 7:00 am, we will take our paddle canoes and head to our Caimancocha trail at 8:00 am. We will hike in the primary forest for approximately 3 hours, and our guide will explain the ecology of the Amazon rainforest, its medicinal plants, the diversity of animals, and interactions of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. At 1:30 pm, we will return to our lodge and have lunch. You can take a rest in the hammocks or rooms until 4:30 pm, when we will take a tour in our catamaran to relax and observe animals. We will swim and watch the fantastic sunset. At 7:00 pm, we will have a night walk for about an hour to see arachnids, amphibians, and hopefully nocturnal reptiles. At 8:00 pm, we will enjoy a special dinner with our guide, where we will share our experiences in the jungle with a farewell cocktail.

Day 3:
At 5:30 am, we will take a tour to observe the sunrise and a variety of birds. At 8:00 am, we will have breakfast at the hotel and get ready for the return at 9:30 am to the Cuyabeno Bridge, where we will have a Box Lunch. You will then be picked up by our private bus that will take you to Lago Agrio so you can return to Quito either by bus or plane.
