Then, explore the flooded forest by canoe, where you may spot colorful birds like parrots and macaws, along with various monkey species. In the afternoon, relax at the lodge or on its scenic dock before taking a primary forest walk to discover medicinal plants and ancient trees such as cedar and mahogany. As night descends, a guided walk reveals the hidden world of insects, frogs, and other Amazonian creatures.

Wonders of Yasuní and Cultural Experience

In the morning, visit the famous “Parrot Clay Lick” in Yasuní National Park, where various parrot species consume clay as part of their diet.
