LAGUNA GRANDE CUYABENO & TOURIST PLACES LAGO AGRIO [2023]

NEW!: DAYTRIP $99 CUYABENO LAGUNA GRANDE. Daily tourist departures at 9:00 AM from the Cuyabeno Bridge

Laguna Grande Cuyabeno: Fabulous tourism to Laguna Grande, Cuyabeno

New!: Cuyabeno Day Trip $99

There are quite a few lodges that offer tour packages to Cuyabenode 3 - 5 days. These are very good and interesting. However, there are many people who do not have the time to go out for several days or who lack the money to spend between $250 and $550 to see the reserve. That is why we offer an alternative: the $99 Cuyabeno day trip with special prices for families with children. We offer daily departures from 9:00 a.m. by motorized canoe leaving from the main entrance of the Cuyabeno reserve at the Bridge over the Cuyabeno River and returns to around 5:00 p.m., from where buses leave for Lagoagrio.

Tourist Places Lagoagrio

Currently, there are only flights to Lago Agrio / Nuevo Loja on Mondays and Fridays, but there are always bus departures from Quito that take you directly to the main entrance of the reserve at the bridge.

While you are passing by Lagoagrio, you may like to spend some time in the town as well. While not pretty as a whole, there is one tourist place we would really like to recommend. This interesting tourist place in Lagoagrio, is the ecolodgical park, with a great wild botanical garden, open - air real size houses of the tribes of Ecuador and a mini-zoo with wildlife and birds of the Amazon.

The Daytrip Cuyabeno

The tour starts at the "Cuyabeno Bridge" entrance. You board the canoe by 9 AM.

The main entrance "Puente de Cuyabeno" where you board our daytrip canoe that takes you to the Laguna Grande Cuyabeno. The lake is the best place in the entire reserve.

Now your day trip begins: An agile canoe takes you in an hour and a half over the Cuyabeno River to our Cuyabeno Lodge.

We take you along the winding Cuyabeno River observing animals and birds. It is a fascinating ride on this tributary of the Amazon River, which will first take you to the largest lake in the reserve, Laguna Grande Cuyabeno.

Upon your arrival at Laguna Grande Cuyabeno Lake, you will go on an excursion through the swamps that surround the Lake.

With a bit of luck you may see one or 2 species of dolphin or maybe... a manatee. In recent years more Giant Otters have been seen.

The Grey Dolphin occasionally visits the Laguna Grande Cuyabeno and usually rises higher out of the water when breathing. The Pink Dolphin is the most common in the Laguna Grande Cuyabeno.

The Giant Otter lives in noisy and playful families. It has recently been established in the part of the Laguna Grande de Cuyabeno and its nearby tributaries. With a bit of luck, you may see or hear a family.

Watching birds and wildlife at the Laguna Grande Cuyabeno.

Red heliconias, pink orchids and other flowers at the banks of the Cuyabeno river.

You will see a varienty of flowers of in the reserve, but finding them takes a bit of effort. Orchids and Heliconias are among the most striking plants in the jungle.

Blue and yellow macaws are quite common around the Laguna Grande Cuyabeno.

Black-mantled Tamarins live in groups of up to 200 individuals.

Hoatzíns eat the leaves of Macrolobium trees and are among the few bird species that brows the leaves of trees.

Macrolobium trees grow in the shallow swamps surrounding the Laguna Grande de Cuyabeno. They are covered with thousands of epiphytes and are home to anacondas, boa constrictors and thousands of birds and other animals. But don't be afraid, the canoe always stays as a safe distance from large animals.

After arriving the tour will focus on bird and flower watching in the swamps of the flooded area, with its Macrolobium "bonsai" trees covered in epiphytes. Particularly the Hoatzins are associated with the Macrolobium trees which eat their leaves.

A visit to the village of the Sionas is always interesting: a kitchen garden with explanations from a Siona woman, roasting cassava tortillas in the firebox.

An orchard in the town of Puerto Montufar of the Siona Tribe with manioc plants.

A Siona woman preparing manioc tortillas.

Depending on the weather, you will visit the Puerto Montúfar town of the Sionas to learn about their customs and way of life.
