Itinerary

DAY 1

Your adventure has begun! Upon check-in at the hotel, you will be warmly welcomed with a refreshing local beverage. Prepare for a brief introductory talk where we will provide you with all the details about your stay and activities.

Explore Kuyana Island and the Guitarracocha Trail. The trail is named after the legend that at night, you can hear the sound of guitars by this water formation. On the route, you can explore Kuyana Island, enjoy a refreshing swim on its shores, and visit the viewpoint, which offers majestic views of the Hollin River. This river is known for being one of the cleanest in the Amazon and one of the main tributaries of the Napo River. This tour is a moderately challenging experience, rated at 2.5 out of 5 points, and typically lasts around 1.5 hours.

Evening: Indulge in a mouthwatering dinner, crafted from a fusion of the freshest local ingredients.

DAY 2

Rise early to witness the breathtaking beauty of Amazonian birdlife and its melodic songs. Enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all crafted from a fusion of the freshest local ingredients.

Visit the Quechua Women’s Project (Amupakin). Located 25 minutes from the lodge by vehicle, this place, guarded by the ancestral wisdom of Quechua women, reveals the deepest secrets of nature and ancestral medicine. Here, midwives are the guardians of a millennial legacy, inheritors of ancestral knowledge that flows like a sacred river through generations. They will perform a representation of a birth led by a midwife and teach you all the ancestral techniques implemented. You will learn about the “ancestral hospital,” where Quechua women assist births with the grace and wisdom of nature goddesses. After immersing ourselves in the wonder of this project, we will be invited to an ancestral ceremony, a sacred ritual to purify our souls and free them from the chains of negativity. We will finish the tour by visiting the largest green pharmacy in the world, and you will learn about its benefits.

Return to Kuyana for a delicious lunch.

Afternoon: Our traditional cooking class allows you to create and savor a range of delicious local dishes, including maito and chontacuro. And, of course, you’ll get to enjoy making your own chocolate.

Evening: To end this adventure-filled day, we invite you to a Night Walk. Immerse yourself in the mystery of the jungle, discovering the fascinating creatures that awaken in the darkness. With a moderate challenge level of 2.0 out of 5, this experience will immerse you in the nocturnal realm for about 1 hour, offering you a unique and exciting perspective of jungle life under the moonlight.

DAY 3

Your last day in the jungle has arrived! Wake up to the melodies of the birds and start your day with a delicious breakfast prepared with a fusion of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. While you’re here, why not take part in our Hollin River reforestation project? Join us in planting a tree and contribute to the preservation and restoration of this precious ecosystem.

Finish your stay with a guided walk to Ushpayacu Waterfalls. The Ushpayacu estuary is a remarkable natural wonder formed by a network of water sources and natural springs found in the area. As it flows through Kuyana Amazon Lodge, the estuary is a prominent attraction, making it the perfect place to explore and immerse oneself in the lush jungle surroundings. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the waterfalls that dot the landscape. Keep your eyes peeled for a diverse range of bird, insect, and animal species that call this area home. This tour is a moderately challenging experience, rated at 3.0 out of 5 points, and typically lasts around 2 hours.
