Ecuador Amazon Rainforest Tours and Expeditions: Activities
  • Guided nature hikes
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.
  • Bird Watching
Over 340 bird species live in the vicinity of Yacuma Reserve. Expert local guides easily identify their songs and calls.
  • Wildlife viewing
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. But in fact and this is very 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.
  • Canoe trips and fishing
Ecotourists can enjoy canoe trips on the natural lagoons exisiting in the area. There are plenty of opportunities for
fishing on Napo River.
  • Swimming and relaxing
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.
  • Gold panning
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 good luck and get some grames of gold!
  • Ecuador Jungle Tours and Expeditions:
We also offer jungle tours and Expeditions in more remote areas, hotel accommodations, Galapagos Tours &
Ecuador Cultural and Adventure Tours.
