Wildlife Escape
Embarking on a journey into the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon is more than just a travel experience—it’s an immersion into one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich regions on Earth. Over the course of three days and two nights, this cultural tour invites you to explore the wonders of the Yasuní Ecolodge and the pristine wilderness of Yasuní National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The Yasuní Ecolodge, managed by the indigenous Kichwa community, offers a unique opportunity to engage with ancestral traditions, learn about sustainable living practices, and witness firsthand the deep connection between humans and nature. Here, you will be welcomed into the community, participate in traditional ceremonies, and gain insights into the daily life of the people who have called this rainforest home for centuries.
Yasuní National Park, often referred to as the “lungs of the planet,” is a treasure trove of biodiversity. This vast expanse of untouched rainforest is home to countless species of plants, birds, mammals, and insects, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. As you venture deeper into the forest, you’ll encounter towering trees, winding rivers, and the symphony of sounds that define the Amazon.
This tour is not merely about sightseeing; it’s about forging a deeper understanding of the delicate balance between humanity and the environment. It’s about learning how indigenous communities protect their land, preserve their culture, and live in harmony with the natural world. It’s about standing in awe of the raw beauty of the rainforest and recognizing our shared responsibility to safeguard it for future generations.
Join us as we delve into the magic of the Ecuadorian Amazon—a place where ancient traditions meet modern conservation efforts, where every step reveals something extraordinary, and where the spirit of adventure blends seamlessly with cultural discovery. Let this journey inspire you, challenge you, and leave an indelible mark on your soul.

Arrival at the Lodge
After a 30-minute flight over the Eastern Andes, you will arrive in Coca. From there, a short car ride and a covered boat trip will take you to the Yasuní Ecolodge. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a traditional Wayusa drink and receive information about the lodge’s services.
Once settled in comfortable rooms overlooking the jungle, visitors can participate in activities such as a hike to an observation tower to spot local wildlife and enjoy an Amazonian sunset, or take a sunset kayak tour on the Napo River. Finally, you will return to the lodge to relax and enjoy dinner.
Full Day of Adventures
After breakfast, you will embark on a motorized canoe trip to a clay lick in the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve, where you can observe various species of parrots. Then, you will walk along the Parakeet Trail to see up to five species of parrots, parakeets, and macaws at the lick, which also attracts mammals like monkeys and jaguars.
The morning concludes with a visit to the Kury Muyu intercultural interpretation center, run by women from the community, where you will learn about Kichwa culture and can purchase handmade crafts. After lunch, you will take a boat excursion along the Añangu stream to observe wildlife.
