The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is an important nature reserve in Amazonia with rather unusual ecological characteristics. Located at the foothills of the Andes, it is different from any other Amazon protected area in the world.
The area encompasses a poorly drained plain with a network of periodically inundated forests, lakes and creeks. Such conditions are rare so close to the Andes, where the drainage in the foothills prevents the development of swamps and lakes. Given its proximity to the mountains, combined with a slightly cooler and wetter climate it may be expected to have a partly different species composition than other areas in the upper Amazon watershed.
As all protected areas in the Amazon region, the area has a high biodiversity, but possibly a bit lower than better drained protected areas like the neighbouring Yasuni National Park, which is considered the most diverse park in the world.
However, such claims must be met with caution, as insufficient data of other areas exist to scientifically compare the diversity of areas. Moreover, to the incidental visiting tourist or even professional biologist such differences are irrelevant because all areas close to the Andes are incredibly rich in species.
First we have to travel to Lago Agrio City and from here take ather bus or private pick up truck to "El Puente".
Our guide will be waiting for the clients by "EL Puente" from where we do an stunning canoe ride to the lodge.
As soon we reach the lodge, we will get ready for the excursions and activities: Hiking, paddling, visiting te community, birding and much more.
fter 4 days jungle adventure, we have to say good bye and return to Lago Agrio, our team will drop you off in L.A Bus station.
