Cuyabeno Rocks!  - I had an absolutely wonderful experience. It's hard to pick a highlight when you're going on four excursions a day and have guides who know the wildlife inside out and... read more backwards, but I really loved how isolated the lodge was and the fact that it's owned by the local Indigenous community. It was a very real experience and not just something people were putting on to make a dollar off of tourists. The food was delicious, the room was straight up luxurious, and the staff were always willing to help, going out of their way to make our experience as good as it could be. I am so happy with my choice and would recommend the centre to anyone I know going to the Amazon!

  Four Day Three Nights of Amazon Fun!  - The 4 day 3 night tour was excellent! Everyone wanted to help make our experience great! We had a last minute issue with public buses and the team at Cuyabeno... read more had us on the shuttle within the hour! Alexandra was our guide and she was excellent. She was passionate about sharing her home and her culture with us. There were plenty of activities and also enough time for hammock relaxing. Would absolutely recommend!

  Super Lodge  - Very well organized tour. Very good food! Individual tours well organized. Super interesting and in the middle of the jungle, far away from civilization. Relax and time to relax and... read more unwind. Perfect for a few days to completely uncouple.

  FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE IN THE ECUADORIAN AMAZON  - Incredible adventure in the Ecuadorian Amazon with the help of Cuyabeno Wildlife Center.
We chose the 7-day border adventure with Peru and it was a true luxury trip. Paradisiacal, dreamlike... read more landscapes, places where you think you are in the most beautiful place on earth and a number of animals that we saw far greater than our expectations. Sloths, Giant Otters, Dolphins, Alligators, Snakes, Tarantulas and 130 species of birds, among other animals. 3 nights in the Waita Lodge cabins, where you are treated exquisitely and 3 days of camping, the perfect adventure.
We prepared the trip via email with Mike, a person with whom you have totally excellent fluidity in preparing the trip, it is difficult to do better.

The guide Jefferson, a nature lover and a connoisseur of the local fauna, among other things, that you can hardly find someone who knows more, with his age.

Formidable cook and boatman, in short, a team of people that gives a plus to the trip, from its preparation to its completion, also at a very competitive price.

And so it's nice to have an adventure

  Best bang for your buck in Cuyabeno! Fantastic tour guides. Comfortable stay.  - The Cuyabeno Wildlife Center is the PLACE to go if you want to visit Cuyabeno and experience the Amazon Rainforest from the Ecuadorian side. I visited with one of my... read more friends who came from Japan and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were under the guidance of three knowledgeable tour guides: Esmeralda brought us on the two-hour trip by boat to the lodge. She was our first guide and so we were amazed by everything that we were able to see with her- so many different birds, monkeys, and even an anaconda. Then once we arrived, Victor Hugo was our main tour guide for the next three days. He's full of information about the area and all the wildlife that lives there. I don't think there was a single question we had that he could not answer. What's what bird sound from afar? Victor knows. He filled us with fun facts while showing us the most amazing things. We were able to spot a whole family of otters. Otters!! He's also got an eagle's eye for spotting things- like a small cayman from 20 meters away. Whatever you are interested, Victor will try to find it for you. Fun fact, he also took a lot of the professional looking photos that are hanging up in the cafeteria/lounge area. Our last guide was Alexandra who led us back from the lodge to the pick-up spot. We had some great conversations and for someone who only just started learning English 6-months ago, she's has made huge progress and is now a wonderful guide. Most of all, she's always willing to learn new words and is such a smiley person. We also saw an anaconda on the way back which really made it a full-circle experience. The food was sooooo delicious, every single day. There were so many fresh vegetables and fruits and the staff work with any food restrictions, diets, or allergies you might have. The rooms were also really comfortable and they even had hot water, which was a huge plus. At night, the jungle comes to life with sound. My friend and I really appreciated all three of our guides and were really pleased to see such great representation of genders and local indigenous people on the staff. I felt the trip to the local community was also done quite respectfully, which was important to me.

I will of course recommend them to others 🙂

  Amazing Cuyabeno  - The trip was amazing since the beginning of the tour at the Puente. During the trip we saw a lot of birds, monkeys and dolphins.
