LAGOAGRIO (NUEVA LOJA), ECUADOR TO LAGUNA GRANDE CUYABENO [SUCUMBIOS]

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

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.

Lagoagrio (Nueva Loja) Ecuador

Currently, there are only flights to Lagoagrio / Nueva 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.

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, the day trip 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.

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.

After arriving at the Laguna Grande of Cuyabeno, the day trip 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.

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

After having spent an amazing day at the Laguna Grande, you will arrive at the entry of the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, the socalled "Puente Cuyabeno" from where you can take a bus back to Lagoagrio / Nueva Loja, Ecuador.
