Suchipakari Rainforest Hotel Jungle Lodge Ecuador - This day is open for enjoying one or more of the lodge’s optional tours. Nature enthusiasts may wish to start with a daybreak birdwatching tour before breakfast.

Although there are nearly 30 rainforest waterfalls around the reserve, only four are accessible to guests. With your guide, choose which waterfall trail to explore. Water is vital to life in nature, and there’s nothing like a refreshing dip at the end of a hike.

Opt 2: Adventure to the RAYUCOCHA Waterfall, featuring a challenging hike on ancient trails leading to a hidden waterfall.

Opt 3: UMBUNI waterfall, then continue to the Paicawe Lagoon, and Playa de Monos.

Opt 4: PARROTS TRAIL, small waterfall and interacting with a Kichwa family on the return journey.

Laguna Kawana Reserva - Enjoy a paddle canoe ride through the Kawana Fauna Production Lagoon Reserve and discover a rich diversity of plants and animals across two distinct landscapes and ecosystems.

Playa de los Monos - Afterwards, visit the Misahualli port, where you can observe monkeys playing in the forest next to the beach, offering a perfect spot to watch the sunset paint the sky pink over the rivers (Misahualli and Napo) and lush forests. Here, you’ll also have the chance to purchase local crafts, products, and souvenirs before returning to the Eco-Lodge.

Suchipakari Amazon Lodge & Jungle Spa - Take some time to refresh in the pool before dinner. Later, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of tomorrow’s activities, promising an adventure along the Napo River and a chance to truly immerse yourself in the rainforest’s depths.
