Rio Pusuno - We’ll then head back to the Eco-Lodge to grab swimsuits, life jackets, and inner tubes for a refreshing float down the Pusuno River from one of its sandy beaches.

Back at the Eco-lodge, take a break and enjoy a jungle mojito—it’s simply amazing. Your guide will then explain the next day’s activities.

Playa de los Monos - Afterward, you’ll visit the Misahualli port, where you can observe monkeys playing in the forest adjacent to the beach, offering an ideal spot to witness the setting sun paint the sky pink over the rivers (Misahualli and Napo) and lush forests. Here, you’ll also have the opportunity 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.
