  The Cuyabeno, so far is my favorite place in the Amazon. The tour was well organized, with plenty of activities for all tastes. Totally recommended

  Now this was exactly what I was looking for. And everything went smoothly first being able to talk with Daniel that is the tour operator in Ecuador and he was very kind with us very nice with us making sure everything‘s OK. I went with my mother from Florida and my uncle from New York City. And me and Aspen Colorado. We all met in Miami and then made it out to Quito stayed a couple days before arriving at the bus which you mean at a local hostel. The bus was there we actually decided since it only cost $10 at the hostel we arrived a few hours earlier than the bus so we can take a shower and take a nap since we were just touring around. Then on the way to the jungle the bus stop two times for bathroom breaks and get something to snack on or drink most people were sleeping on the bus. Then in the morning when we arrived in the reserve there was a little outside restaurant and a store where they provided free breakfast for us with this tour which is really cool it’s more of a traditional indigenous sore Ecuadorian breakfast with eggs and rice and I forgot I think it might have been chicken. Then somebody from the lodge was looking for us and welcomed us saying that we’re waiting for the motorized canoe from the lodge to return with other guests and then we checked into The reserve office as were checking into the reserve area so they know we’re in the reserve. Then we travel to hours down the river with our guy that spoke English very well. And immediately the tour started right from leaving the bridge starting to look for birds, snakes, sloths. All kinds of animals snakes and spiders oh and dolphins. Now it does rain in the jungle it’s obviously a rain forest. So make sure you have like rain gear to cover you up your clothes so they don’t get wet. Once we arrived a couple other people from the lodge was waiting at the dock to welcome us and lunch was ready immediately and we were so surprised that the food was like eating in a restaurant. All good food quality food. Not from like some kind of cheap restaurant this would be plates that you are you got a good restaurant and the chef Freddy this guy can cook so good. He can make 15 different meals and they’re never the same and they have fresh juices. And some people are wondering how the quality of food is they do bring the food in from a local supermarket a few hours away down the river and they have to drive to the grocery store to get food they don’t use things that were in the reserve because you don’t know if there’s bacteria‘s so we had all healthy quality food. Then there was morning activities afternoon activities and evening activities. Canoeing down the river with paddles and some non-motorized boats. Always doing something different. The staff is very kind when you get back from your afternoon activity and you go back to your room for a little bit they make you every bed they clean everything up. And don’t worry about it if anything is going to be stolen. The people are very trustworthy. Obviously they don’t want bad reviews. Well maybe not only they don’t want bad reviews they’re good people half of the people live in indigenous communities in the jungle and the other half are from nearby cities like the tour guide and they stay with you from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep eating all the meals with you so you always feel comfortable and safe in the jungle. Monkeys right there in the base camp. That or wild in the trees and the birds make sure you bring a power bank with you for your telephone or if you need to take pictures they have strict rules and regulations in the reserves from the department of tourism the ministry of like the reserve. So they put it on the generator 30 minutes in the morning so that they can cook breakfast and it gives everybody power and the same with lunchtime and then at nighttime four hours of electricity. And water in the showers is very hot you have to turn the cold water on to make it not so hot and three of us were able to take literally 15 to 20 minute hot showers each with no problem every single day it’s like the hot water never runs out. And the cook I should call him a chef to because that’s more than just some line cook. He’s a very good cook and they’re all really nice staff people. And some of them get together at night time and I’ll sing on a guitar Spanish music. Maybe for 20 to 30 minutes or so which is trust me long enough after a long day in the jungle. They were thorough with everything they do and safety is a major priority. Then the very last day when we were leaving we arrived the dock before every other launch giving us time to get something to drink to make sure everything was in order the buses were already there waiting for us as we were going back to Keita on the bus stopped in a small place where we can actually eat lunch. I don’t know it was an amazing trip I don’t know what else to say besides everything went smoothly everything was safe the people were kind. I did notice tell other people that booked with other lodges or companies. I did overhear people saying how they wish they had better communication and they didn’t have anybody greet them as we were greeted some of the people from the other larges they look a little bit more serious but the people at the store all smiles and like they’re really happy. And make sure you tip them good. Do you know stuff like this they deserve a very good tip honestly. From everything that I saw these people go out of their way to make sure you were comfortable. It’s well worth it I wouldn’t keep looking for something better you already found it I had a really affordable price
