| This tour is especially suitable for nature lovers and canoeing enthusiasts. You will be able to discover the rainforest in the most natural and exciting way possible: by canoe and on foot along hidden jungle trails, constantly surrounded by the intriguing sounds of the rainforest. You will have the opportunity to observe parrots, toucans, monkeys, piranhas, freshwater dolphins, anacondas, and caimans. | |

Surrounded by unspoiled tropical rainforest, you paddle downstream along the Cuyabeno River. After about 3 to 5 hours, you arrive at a small campground on the banks of the river where you spend the night. |

They also like to get their guests involved in a game of soccer or take them down to the river for a swim. |
