The best experience ever!! - This was the most incredible experience ever. We saw so many animals, from huge caiman, to snakes, spiders, birds and frogs! Stalyn, Carlos and team are amazing, they are so attentive and really go the extra mile to make your experience incredible. Everyone is so hard working and it was amazing to learn more about the jungle way of life, their family, their culture and their country. I’d highly recommend a stay at Tucan Lodge for anyone who loves animals and wants adventure! :) it’s a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget.

Stay at Tucan Lodge - I had a great time on the Amazon tour of Tucan Lodge. The guide and his spotters are great at finding animals. Where I was still searching, they were already busy with other animals. The service of the lodge was good; good food, unlimited drinks and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended this!

Best Adventure in Ecuador - One of the best adventures in Ecuador. We did many activities in just 3 days. Walk through the forest, kayak, visit the commune, cross the mud of the lagoon, learn to make coffee and chocolate and a night walk. We saw many species of animals. Our guide Carlos was one of Top-rated I have ever met in Ecuador. He knows a lot about each species and entertained us from the early hours of the morning to bedtime. Highly recommended

Amazing experience - We took the bus from quito and although the trip is long the bus was very comfortable and high quality. The activities and excursions were amazing and all the staff and guides (ours Darius) are lovely and knowledgeable. His passion for the jungle, animals and plants makes you enjoy 100%. The food and installation of the whole lodge are very good. There is hot water, drinking water, and there are mosquito nets both in the bed and throughout the room. They also have canoeing and boards for free use in free times. The communal and rest areas overlooking the river and jungle allow you to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We stayed 2 nights and 3 days and recommended to stay more days.

Couldnt reccomend this enough! - I couldn’t put this into words if I tried ! We had the most magical experience in the Amazon thanks to the amazing people at Tucan Lodge- everything from the knowledge, to the food and the accomodation is top notch. It is clear that so much effort and care is put into every detail here. The experience is jam packed full of wildife, outdoor excursions, local food and great people. Paul our guide was as fun as he was knowledgable, and we left feeling like we had made so many new friends. Even more important to note that supporting this Ecuadorian owned business is the best way to spend your money visiting this part of the Amazon

Unforgettable Amazon experience with Tucan Lodge - We stayed in Cuyabeno for 4 nights 5 days. We were picked up at 11 at night at the Secret Garden Inn in Quito, the trip was long to the bridge where the boat starts, but the bus was very comfortable and we could sleep. Additional we had a stop for delicious local breakfast before taking the route to the lodge by boat. From the bridge they explained the importance of the Reservation and along the way we could see animals and birds, it was wonderful, the boats are very comfortable with chairs and safety vests. At the lodge the attention is excellent, every day delicious local food, we learned to make coffee and cocoa from the bean and also visit us an indigenous group where we learned to make arepas of cassava from the plant. Everyone in the Reservation is excellent, our Dario Guide made our experience unforgettable, a magical and quiet place to connect with nature, really highly recommended, all people from the kitchen to the boat drivers are too friendly, I felt at home. the room was super with private bathroom, hot water! all with mosquito netting! Tip: bring anti mosquito and organic anti mosquito soap as we do a lot of damage to nature with chemicals!

I want to go back! - This is the fourth time I go to Cuyabeno because it is one of my favorite places in Ecuador. My first time at Cuyabeno Tucan Lodge. Definitely the love of all the staff makes the difference. The staff is excellent, great tour guides and the food is delicious (they have vegetarian options) I spent my birthday night enjoying the stars and the full moon. I want to come back when I have days off from work. totally recommended. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
