Yacuma Protected Rainforest Reserve and
EcoLodge:
Among the Ecuador Jungle Lodges, the Amazon Rainforest Yacuma
Reserve and Ecolodge is located in the Napo River area in the
Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. The Yacuma Protected Reserve
spans over 300 hectares (3,000,000 square meters - 750 acres) of
primary tropical jungle . With it richness in species and diverse
ecosystems, Yacuma Forest Reserve is an extraordinary place for
Ecotourists and nature lovers.
Yacuma Amazon Rainforest Tours and Expeditions: Activities
Local guides give expert interpretation as ecotourists traverse the varied forest habitats of
the Yacuma Forest Reserve. There are over 10 Km of trails to choose from, where visitors
will learn about medicinal, fruit and exotic plants. Hikes can be done during the day.
Over 340 bird species live in the vicinity of Yacuma Reserve. Expert local guides easily
identify their songs and calls.
Ecotourists with luck may have a glimpse of some of the wildlife that inhabits the area,
such as monkeys, capybaras, wild pigs, to name a few. However its important to know,
that it is a quite difficult task to observe this extraordinary wildlife due to the simple fact
that in the jungle there is a struggle for life so everybody is hiding to survive.
Ecotourists can enjoy canoe trips on the natural lagoons exisiting in the area. There are
plenty of opportunities for fishing.
After a day of hiking we can have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim in the
Chontayacu River, Sumino River or Napo River. Or simply relax in a hammock while
listening to the sounds of the forest.
Yes, why not to try gold panning on Napo River as the local Indigenous do. We will take
you to certain areas on the river shores where you can try your luck and get some grams
of gold!
