Itinerary

DAY 1 – Arrival & Amazon Exploration

Dinner included

Welcome to Kuyana Amazon Lodge, your home for exploring Ecuador’s Amazon. Upon arrival, enjoy a refreshing native welcome drink and a brief introduction to the lodge and the experiences ahead.

Begin your journey with a guided walk along the Guitarracocha Trail, inspired by local legends that speak of guitar-like sounds echoing through the forest at night. The trail leads across Kuyana Island to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Hollín River, one of the main tributaries of the Napo River. Along the way, take time to relax and cool off on its sandy riverbanks.
(Difficulty: 2.5/5 – approx. 1.5 hours)

Return to the lodge for a thoughtfully prepared three-course dinner, featuring fresh Amazonian ingredients — a warm and flavorful welcome to the rainforest.

DAY 2 – Birdwatching, Waterfalls & Amazon Flavors

Breakfast, lunch & dinner included

Start the day early as the forest comes alive during a guided birdwatching walk. This region is home to a remarkable variety of species, including orioles, caciques, kingfishers, parrots, and many others that fill the morning with color and song.
(Difficulty: 2/5 – approx. 1 hour)

After breakfast, set out on a guided hike to the Ushpayacu Waterfalls, one of Kuyana’s most cherished natural spots. The trail winds through lush forest and leads to a natural pool at the base of the falls, inviting you to swim, refresh, and reconnect with nature.
(Difficulty: 3/5 – approx. 3 hours)

In the afternoon, enjoy a traditional Amazon cooking class, where you’ll learn to prepare local dishes such as maito and chontacuro, followed by a hands-on chocolate-making experience using locally sourced cacao.

As evening settles in, savor a relaxed dinner at the lodge, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the rainforest.

DAY 3 – Whitewater Rafting & Jungle Night Walk

Breakfast, lunch & dinner included

After breakfast, prepare for one of the highlights of your Amazon adventure: whitewater rafting on the Jatunyacu River.

Guided by internationally certified rafting guides, you’ll navigate Class II and III rapids, combining excitement with moments of calm as you drift past dense rainforest, orchids, and dramatic river landscapes. Midway through the journey, stop for a riverside picnic lunch, with time to swim, rest, and enjoy the surroundings.
(Difficulty: 3.5/5 – approx. 6 hours)

In the evening, join a guided night walk, discovering the rainforest after dark. Learn about nocturnal frogs, insects, and mammals, and experience the forest from an entirely different perspective.
(Difficulty: 2/5 – approx. 1 hour)

DAY 4 – Farewell & Tree Planting Experience

Breakfast included

Wake to the sounds of tropical birds and enjoy your final breakfast at Kuyana. Before departure, take part in our Hollín River reforestation project.
