Itinerary
Travel by air or road over the Andes to the frontier oil town of Lago Agrio. From there, private transportation will take you to the “Cuyabeno Bridge,” where you will meet your guide. Continue by motorized canoe along the Cuyabeno River to Laguna Grande, home to the Lodge. This two-hour journey offers a chance to admire the area’s abundant wildlife. After settling into your room, take a tour of the lagoon to spot animals, enjoy a swim in the lake, and watch the sunset from the canoe.
After breakfast, embark on a guided walk through the “terra firma forest,” where your naturalist guide will explain the forest’s wildlife, medicinal plants, ecosystem, and indigenous life. After lunch and a short siesta, take a trip in a traditional dugout canoe to explore the flooded forest, featuring macrolobium trees covered in epiphytes, while spotting monkeys and birds. After dinner, enjoy a night walk in the primary forest to observe insects and nocturnal wildlife.
Begin the morning with birdwatching, followed by a final breakfast at the Lodge. Then, travel upstream to the bridge, where transportation will take you back to Lago Agrio. From there, return to Quito via bus or private transport.
