It was okay, but the food was extremely limited and there weren't many options. The staff were very courteous, but the conditions of the stay weren't the best. Internet access is usually included in the contracts and costs $15 PER DAY. There was no soap, among other things.
We had a great experience in Cuyabeno! We stayed 3d/2n at Dolphin Lodge. The organisation was great, the guides were very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of wildlife! Recommended!
We had an amazing 4 day trip in the Amazon with William, our guide, and the entire team. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, which made the experience truly unforgettable. The food was delicious and varied every day, and the accommodation was comfortable with a stunning landscape all around. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the forest, the animals, and life in the jungle. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing 4-night stay at Cuyabeno Wildlife Center and truly loved our visit. The experience exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Our guides, Elias and Esmeralda, were absolutely wonderful, kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome from the very beginning and ensured we got the most out of every excursion. Their ability to spot wildlife and share insights about the rainforest made the experience even more special. The food was consistently good. Everything was well prepared and enjoyable. The wildlife and nature were simply breathtaking. From the rich biodiversity to the stunning scenery, every day brought something new and unforgettable. It truly felt like being immersed in one of the most incredible ecosystems on Earth. We highly recommend Cuyabeno Wildlife Center to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Amazon experience!
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Dolphin lodge/Cuyabeno wildlife center! The rustic feel of the rooms offered a real jungle experience while providing comfort and protection from any bugs. Our guide Elias was incredible from the word go - he's not just doing a job, the Amazon and wildlife is clearly his biggest passion. We got to see everything that we'd hoped for through the constant activities and the food side is great too. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastische locatie, lieve zorgzame gidsen die zeer goed zijn in het spotten van wildlife. Zij maakte onze ervaring extra speciaal. Het eten was goed en genoeg voor iedereen, de kamers zijn voorzien van alle basisvoorzieningen. Er is zelfs internet beschikbaar voor diegenen die echt niet zonder kunnen. Daar hebben wij geen gebruik van gemaakt. De tours zijn geweldig. Ik had de 3 nachten 4 dagen tour. Dat was perfect. Elke dag een andere ervaring.
We had an amazing 4-day experience in the Amazon (Cuyabeno), which truly exceeded our expectations. Our guide Miguel was excellent—very knowledgeable and passionate, sharing so much about this surprising and unique part of Ecuador. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience overall. Although it can sometimes be challenging to adapt to the tough living conditions in the jungle, it is absolutely worth it for the authenticity and connection with nature.
We spent four nights here - the lodge was beautiful and the staff were so nice - especially Ismerelda and William. It was a perfect mix of relaxation and activities. We saw lots of wildlife - snakes, monkeys, caymans, dolphins, frogs and insects. The community trip was really interesting too. The whole trip was incredible we didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for a great trip.
Richtig schöne Lodge und alles war perfekt! Von der Buchung und einer Änderung der Buchung bis zum relativ spontanen Anliegen für einen Van nach Quito. Vielen Dank für die schönen 4 Tage. Von der Abholung, dem Erlebnis, gesehen Tieren, dem Essen und unserem Guide Esmeralda war wirklich alles perfekt! Kann ich wirklich weiterempfehlen. Esmeralda hat sich bestens um uns gekümmert und auch richtig viele Tiere gespottet und erklärt. Kevin, der Bootskapitän genauso und er war auch mega nett! Danke und auf Wiedersehen.
J'ai vraiment passé un excellent moment ! Se retrouver au milieu de jungle dans ce lodge était une aventure vraiment incroyable. Le staff est aux petits soins avec vous tout au long du séjour, la nourriture est de qualité et abondante ! Si vous avez de l'appétit pas de panique, il y a de quoi se remplir l'estomac à chaque repas 😂, C'était vraiment 4 jours de déconnexion totale avec le monde extérieur. J'ai vraiment apprécié. Chaque jour, je restais sans voix face à cette nature incroyablement belle et vivante. Je n'ai pas les moments pour décrire l'expérience, il faut absolument aller la vivre pour comprendre.
