Real experiences from real travelers
The wildlife was incredible. We saw pink dolphins, caimans, and at least five species of monkeys. Our guide from the Viator-booked tour was exceptionally knowledgeable about medicinal plants.
If you are short on time in Baños, do the Puyo day trip. The waterfall swim and the canoe ride were highlights. Great value for $85.
Yasuni is a must. It is a bit more expensive to get to Coca, but seeing the clay licks and the canopy tower was worth every penny. Booking was seamless.
Loved the visit to the Siona community. It felt respectful and educational. The lodge in Cuyabeno was surprisingly comfortable for being so deep in the jungle.
As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. The logistics were handled perfectly from the moment I was picked up in Quito. Highly recommend the 3-day Napo River escape.
Be prepared for rain, it is the rainforest! But the night walks were magical when all the insects and frogs come to life. Truly a bucket list experience.
I came for the birds and wasn't disappointed. The guides are experts at spotting even the smallest creatures. Use a good zoom lens!
River tubing on the Napo River was so much fun. A perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. The food at the lodge was also delicious.
Everything you need to know for your journey
While not always strictly enforced for entry, the Yellow Fever vaccination is highly recommended for all travelers visiting the Amazon basin in Ecuador. You should get it at least 10 days before your trip.
The Amazon can be visited year-round. The 'drier' season is usually from December to March, but rain is possible any day. High water season (April-July) is better for boat navigation into flooded forests.
Yes, mosquitoes and 'no-see-ums' are present. We recommend bringing a high-DEET repellent and wearing long-sleeved, light-colored clothing to minimize bites.
Most deep-jungle lodges in Cuyabeno and Yasuni do not have Wi-Fi or cell service, allowing for a true 'unplugged' experience. Some lodges near Puyo or Napo may have limited satellite internet in common areas.
Essentials include lightweight long-sleeved shirts, quick-dry trousers, a wide-brimmed hat, high-quality insect repellent, a flashlight or headlamp, and a waterproof bag for electronics.
Yes, pink river dolphins are commonly spotted in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve and along the Napo River in Yasuni National Park, especially during the high-water season.
Many lodges offer family-friendly itineraries. However, we recommend these tours for children aged 6 and up due to the long boat rides and heat. Always check the specific tour's age policy.
For Cuyabeno and Yasuni, most travelers take a short 45-minute flight or an 8-hour bus ride from Quito to Coca or Lago Agrio. Day trips to Puyo typically depart from Baños.
Most reputable tour operators and lodges provide rubber boots (up to certain sizes) for jungle hikes as part of the tour price. Check your booking voucher to confirm.
