Culture Immersion – 4 Days / 3 Nights

HOW TO BOOK: TWO WAYS TO STAY AT KUYANA

Package (this page): Accommodation, all meals, guided activities, entrance fees, and a welcome drink — everything listed below, from dinner on arrival to breakfast on departure. This is the easiest way to experience Kuyana without planning each detail yourself.
 
Room Only: Just the room, no meals or activities included. Best if you’re planning your own itinerary or staying longer than a set package. Book directly on our Rooms page.
 
Who This Is For
The full cultural arc — AMUPAKIN, a cooking class, a waterfall, and a guided night in the forest. Best for travelers who want more time to really get to know the people behind the Amazon, not just pass through. 
 
What to Expect
Three nights by the Hollín River, moving between forest trails, a community, a waterfall, and Kuyana’s kitchen. Every stay begins with dinner on arrival and ends with breakfast before departure. The pace and length of each walk adapt to your group.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Kuyana Island Trail Check-in opens at 3:00 PM.

Dinner is included tonight.

You’re welcomed with a native drink and a short introduction to your stay and Kuyana’s philosophy — a place where comfort, nature, and culture coexist. After settling in, a guided walk along the Guitarracocha Trail — named after a local legend of guitar-like sounds near its lagoon — leads to Kuyana Island, where you can take a refreshing swim in the Hollín River, and on to a viewpoint with peaceful views over the forest. (Easy walk, roughly 1.5 hours — adjusted to your group’s pace)

Back at the lodge, enjoy our signature cocktail happy hour, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.

Dinner is served at 7:00 PM — a farm-to-table meal made with ingredients from Kuyana’s gardens and nearby communities.

AMUPAKIN & Amazon Cooking Class

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included today.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM. At 9:00 AM, we head to the AMUPAKIN Quechua Women’s Project — 15-20 minutes from Kuyana. Led by Quechua midwives, this initiative safeguards ancestral knowledge around natural medicine and traditional birth practices. During the visit, you’ll learn about medicinal plants, healing rituals, and ancestral methods used to live in harmony with nature. The experience closes with a purification ceremony, an intimate moment focused on renewal and inner balance.

You’ll be back at Kuyana in time for lunch — the full visit takes about 3 hours, including transfers.

At 5:30 PM, join an Amazon cooking class: you’ll prepare part of tonight’s dinner — maito and chontacuro — followed by hands-on chocolate-making with local cacao. The rest of the meal comes from Kuyana’s kitchen, served at 7:00 PM.

Day 3 – Waterfall & Night Walk

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included today.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM. At 9:00 AM, a guided hike sets out toward the Ushpayacu Waterfalls, within Kuyana’s private reserve. The trail winds through lush vegetation, natural springs, and small cascades, offering moments of calm and connection with the forest. (Difficulty 3 out of 5, roughly 3 hours total)

Back at the lodge, a delicious lunch awaits. In the afternoon, walk Kuyana’s Regenerative Trail with a guide — you’ll learn how mushrooms are cultivated on-site, how native bees live and work, and which medicinal plants grow along the path.
 
Afterward, the rest of the afternoon is free — by the pool, in your cabin, or with a massage at our riverside spa (available at an additional cost).

Dinner is served at 7:00 PM. Afterward, a guided night walk reveals the forest’s nocturnal life — frogs, insects, and other species that emerge after dark. (Easy walk, roughly 1 hour)

Day 4 – Planting Your Legacy

Breakfast is included before you leave.

Enjoy your final breakfast at Kuyana, surrounded by birdsong and forest sounds. Before departure, join Kuyana’s Reforestation Project along the Hollín River. Plant a native tree and leave a living contribution to the Amazon’s regeneration — a meaningful gesture that connects your journey with the future of this ecosystem.

Check-out is at 11:00 AM — if you have time to spare, use it at your own pace: a dip in the pool, or a short, self-guided walk around the lodge.

Every guest becomes part of Kuyana’s story — helping preserve the forest, its people, and its future.
