Feel free to combine these activities as you wish. Each evening, you’ll meet with your guide to plan your time with us or add more optional activities or adventure sports.

If you have any specific requests, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help!

After you’ve had time to relax, join us at the restaurant for a Welcome Lunch before we embark on a jungle walk with our native guide.

Sendero Ecológico El Gran Ceibo - Embark on a trekking adventure in the jungle along the Giant Ceibo Trail. Your guide will lead you through half a dozen trails, each varying in difficulty and duration, ranging from half an hour to 4 hours. These trails wind through the dense and humid rainforest, connecting to the river or lake. You’ll traverse muddy paths while keeping an eye out for the elusive fauna of the area. Don’t forget to bring your long socks to wear with the rubber boots and sandals for a comfortable journey!

Rio Pusuno - After the jungle guided walk, return to the Ecolodge to change into swimming attire before heading to the river beach for a tubing adventure. Don’t forget to bring your sandals!

The cool water provides a refreshing respite after hiking in the jungle. Floating down the river on a tube, your hand-rowing skills will be put to the test. With the sky above and tree-lined banks beside you, it feels like stepping into a dream. Whether you embark on this adventure solo or with a partner, it promises tranquility and serenity—a peaceful way to enjoy the Amazon river.

Ahuano - It’s mesmerizing to watch the indigenous woman skillfully mold clay from the riverbed into delicate little bowls. During this encounter, a local will demonstrate how their community creates crockery from natural materials found in the forest, showcasing the techniques used to seal and decorate them. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase these beautifully crafted items as souvenirs.

Afterward, we’ll return by canoe to the Eco-Lodge.

Rio Pusuno - In our pursuit of enhancing your well-being, we’ve introduced a new menu featuring healthy snacks.
