Reiseverlauf

Nach unserer Ankunft in „El Puente“ machen wir eine kurze Pause für ein Lunchpaket. Anschließend starten wir unsere Tour mit einem motorisierten Kanu. Sie erhalten einen Regencape und eine Schwimmweste, und Ihr Gepäck wird bei Regen mit Plastikfolie abgedeckt. Während unserer etwa zwei- bis dreistündigen Fahrt auf dem schmalen Cuyabeno-Fluss werden Sie unterwegs viele Pflanzen und Tiere beobachten können. In der Tapir Lodge angekommen, werden Sie zu Ihrem Zimmer begleitet, um sich zu entspannen. Nach dem Abendessen um 19:30 Uhr gibt Ihnen Ihr Reiseleiter eine Einführung in die Lodge, das Cuyabeno-Reservat und die geplanten Aktivitäten der nächsten Tage.

After breakfast at 7:30 am, we will begin a full-day adventure exploring the upper Cuyabeno Reserve by killa de remo, a traditional canoe. We’ll paddle upriver to Laguna Grande, enjoying a peaceful 1.5-hour ride through the rainforest, spotting unique plants and wildlife along the way. We’ll explore the flooded Igapo forest and see ancient trees like Macrolobium that grow straight from the water. Later, we’ll hike the Palma Roja trail for about 3 hours, looking for birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. After lunch by the lake, we’ll continue paddling to discover orchids, butterflies, and more. Guests can swim and, if the weather allows, enjoy a beautiful sunset. We return to Tapir Lodge by 7:30 pm for a relaxing evening, dinner, and possibly a short night walk to see frogs and other creatures.

Around midday, we visit Puerto Bolívar and a nearby Cofan community to meet a local shaman, who shares his healing knowledge and offers a ceremony demonstration after lunch. At about 3:00 pm, we learn how the Siona people make cassava bread. We return to Tapir Lodge by 5:00 pm and may enjoy a sunset canoe ride on Laguna Grande in a traditional killa de remo canoe. If weather allows, we finish with a night walk to see frogs, owls, and other animals before dinner at 8:30 pm.

We will spend a long and good morning traveling by motorized boat to the beautiful Canagueno Lake. There, we will enjoy exploring the lake on board traditional killa de remo paddle canoes. It is a real pleasure to see this magical place, with grasslands where birds like Jacanas feed on insects. We will also spot groups of hoatzins, egrets, greater Anis, and many orchids like Cattleya and Epidendrum. This activity lasts all morning, and we return to Tapir Lodge for lunch around 2:00 pm. In the afternoon, guests can relax and enjoy the last sunset over the lake. After dinner, we will have a farewell Passion Fruit cocktail and take time to introduce the hardworking staff who make the excellent service at Tapir Lodge possible.

Wichtige Informationen

To confirm the agreed travel contract, a non-refundable pre-payment of 30% of the costs per person must be paid. The remaining balance must be paid no later than 60 days before departure of the tour for all mainland tours in Ecuador and 90 days before departure for all travel to the Galápagos Islands and mainland tours in a South American destination except Ecuador. If the client concludes his travel arrangements with RT less than 60 days before the departure date for mainland travel in Ecuador, or 90 days for the Galápagos Islands or a mainland tour in any South American destination except Ecuador, the tour must be paid in full immediately. If a client fails to pay for his/her tour in full before the agreed final payment dates (60 days before departure for mainland travel in Ecuador and 90 days before departure for Galápagos Island or a mainland travel in South America except Ecuador) the client risks losing his/her tour. Equally, by failing to make the full payment before the due date, the client will lose his/her deposits for all travelers included in the reservation. If the tour fee has not been paid in full before the arranged travel starts, RT will be released from its service obligations and may require the customer to pay any appropriate resignation costs.
