Ha sido una excelente experiencia para conocer de cerca el hábitat de Cuyabeno. El guía Miguel ha demostrado un conocimiento muy completo tanto de la fauna como de los animales. La comida bien confeccionada, quizás demasiado arroz para nosotros europeos y las frutas frescas y sabrosas. Disponibilidad de café durante todo el dia. Las habitaciones son básicas pero en medio de la jungla, suficientes.

Myself and my girlfriend spent a truly incredible 6 days with the Cuyabeno Wildlife Centre. Many thanks to our excellent guides, Jorge and Victor, who were both brilliant at spotting wildlife and providing information about the animals and plants we encountered.

We hebben hier een heerlijke tijd gehad (5 dagen/ 4 nachten)! We hebben erg genoten van de gevarieerde activiteiten en al de dieren die we hebben gezien. Het personeel doet er alles aan om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Houd wel rekening met een douche die lastig is af te stellen.. Het is zeker moeite waard om de reis hierheen te maken!

We had an incredible two night/three day experience with Cuyabeno Wildlife Centre (staying at Dolphin Lodge). Our guide, Victor, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience interesting and extremely enjoyable. The lodge itself is very comfortable and they happily cater to different dietary requirements and allergies. We’d highly recommend - well well worth the money for the experience!!

My boyfriend and I visited the Cuyabeno Wildlife center and it was simply amazing, thanks to the deep knowledge of our guide, Jorge, about the jungle. He repeatedly impressed us by his ease to spot tiny animals hidden in the bushes while also talking to us. We learned a lot thanks to him. The food at the lodge is local and excellent and all the staff is very friendly. The journey to get there demands some effort (bumpy road and worst bus ever taken in south America - we took the private bus from Quito. But it’s definitely worth it, as you only experience this once in your life.

I think one of my best experiences i ever had. The laguna was dry but still we did walks and watch for many many animals. We saw an 5 meter wild anaconda some crocodiles and river dolphins. The guide was really nice and the villageers where also, we loved PEPA the Capibara!!
