Highlights

Adventure Begins in the Heart of the Amazon

Quito - On the first day of this thrilling journey, we’ll head southeast from Quito to the vibrant jungle city of Tena, passing through the Cayambe Coca Ecological Reserve. If the weather permits, you’ll have the opportunity to see the majestic Antisana Volcano (5,753 meters / 18,875 feet).

As we travel, you’ll witness the breathtaking transition from the high Andean landscapes to the lush tropical rainforest.

Cavernas Jumandy - Our first adventure awaits at the Jumandy Caves, where we’ll embark on an underground expedition through stunning stalactites and stalagmites, following the river to refresh ourselves at one of the magical waterfalls hidden beneath the surface.

This thrilling journey lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, and for your safety, a local guide will accompany you. A headlamp is included for the expedition. We recommend wearing a swimsuit and water shoes or sandals with straps to comfortably walk through the river. The site also offers showers and changing rooms for your convenience after the activity.

After exploring the caves, we continue our adventure to the tranquil town of Misahualli, famously known as the “Monkey Village.” Here, you’ll have the chance to relax and immerse yourself in the wonders of the rainforest, surrounded by playful monkeys and lush nature.

Misahualli - Our next stop is the famous “Playa de Monos” (Monkey Beach), where you’ll have the chance to interact with the playful monkeys that call this place home. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a delicious traditional lunch, offering a taste of the region’s authentic flavors.

(Lunch not included)

Laguna Paikawe Reserva - Once refreshed, we’ll visit one of the area’s natural reserves, where we’ll board a paddle canoe for a serene journey through the waterways. As we glide through this pristine environment, keep your eyes open for incredible wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, caimans, and the fascinating hoatzin bird, a species with prehistoric origins. This area, often referred to as “Little Yasuni,” is a hidden gem for nature lovers.

After our wildlife adventure, we’ll return to town and make our way to our forest lodge, where a special dinner will be waiting for us—ending the day with a perfect mix of nature, wildlife, and delicious local cuisine.

Suchipakari Amazon Lodge & Jungle Spa - The day is far from over! After dinner, it’s time to put on your rubber boots as we embark on a thrilling nighttime exploration of the tropical rainforest. Accompanied by a native guide, you’ll discover the unique wildlife and sounds that come to life after dark, offering an entirely different perspective of the jungle.
