Where Nature Meets Adventure: Cuyabeno Wildlife Center
This May Come in Handy
Traveling into the depths of the Amazon region is an adventure that requires preparation. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- Before you set out on your journey, make sure you have your passport with you. This will help you navigate any travel restrictions or immigration requirements.
- The Amazon has a distinct dry season that lasts from December to March. During this time, temperatures remain stable, ranging from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day and cooling down to around 15 degrees Celsius at night.
- To ensure your health and safety during your trip, it’s essential to take precautions against yellow fever and Malaria. Consult with your doctor before departure to get up-to-date health information, and bring your own medication if necessary. If you have allergies or chronic medical conditions, don’t forget to wear a medical alert bracelet and inform your guide.
- When you decide to join one of our Cuyabeno tours, kindly let your family and friends know that you will be temporarily disconnected during your time with us. Our remote location means that there won’t be access to Wi-Fi or phone connections. Embrace this opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of nature and enjoy a peaceful escape from the digital world.
- Our tour groups are intentionally kept small to minimize our impact on the environment and provide a more personalized experience. This also means that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Amazon.
- If you’re traveling with children, we welcome families of all ages to join us on our tours. However, we do recommend a minimum age of 5 years old and suggest booking a private tour for added comfort. Our guides will adjust their tours to meet the needs of younger travelers, but please be aware that some trails may be challenging.
Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or embarking on your first trip to the Amazon, we’re committed to providing you with an unforgettable experience that is both safe and sustainable.
