Amazon Jungle: 5 Days Cuyabeno Reserve with Tucan Lodge

About this trip

One of the reserve’s newest lodges is Tucan Eco Lodge, which is situated downstream on the Cuyabeno River. It is around 30 kilometers from the park entrance and can be accessed by canoe, depending on the season. The Lodge can accommodate up to 24 visitors in its two guest huts, each of which has three or four cabins. Each hut has a double or triple bedroom if necessary, a private bathroom and shower, and space for two to four people. Depending on the season, visitors can watch pink river dolphins from the platform of our resort’s hammock-lined leisure area that overlooks the river. Every customer is accompanied by a qualified naturalist guide and an authorized canoe driver since we understand how important a skilled guide is.
