- 4 Days Amazon Lodge Cuyabeno Reserve
Our stay at Nicky Amazon Lodge was fantastic! Communication with Tourradar about pickup location was not. No where on the reservation did it say the pickup changed from Lago Agrio to Rio de Cuyabena. I only found this out once Daniel contacted me and I asked about pick up times. The morning of when we had our transport arranged our driver contacted Daniel and asked for the direct contact for the person who would be waiting for us at the pick up location and was told there was no contact number. The confusion about which “el puente” location we needed to be at was stressful. Communication needs improvement.
- Local Living Ecuador—Amazon Jungle
What an incredible week it was. I would recommend this G Adventure tour again and again. The homestay family was incredible, Maria Sol (our guide) was beyond exceptional and I felt relaxed for the first time in years while being pushed and challenged to do things like white water rafting and hiking up waterfalls. Truly worth every penny.

Plan for these extra costs: transport to and from Quito (USD 60-75 by shuttle) entry fees for indigenous communities (USD 5-10) staff tips (USD 10-15 daily is standard) and personal expenses like drinks and souvenirs. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Make sure to budget extra for the shuttle service and community visits which aren't included but are worthwhile experiences."
