Ecological paddle canoeing Breakfast 7:00 am. At 8:00 am we will take our paddle canoes and head to our “Caimancocha” trail. We will hike in the primary forest for approximately 3 hours. On this trail our guide will explain about the ecology of the Amazon rainforest, its medicinal plants, the diversity of animals and interactions of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. At 1:30 pm, we will return to our lodge.

 At 6:00 am we will meet at our meeting point. We will head to our Great

Cayman Bird Tower, to see a variety of birds and the beautiful sunrise,

accompanied by a delicious coffee.

At 9:00 am we will depart down river to the Siona Community of Puerto Bolivar in a journey of approximately 1:30 hour and there we will be greeted by one of the native women who will take us to the cassava plantation to harvest cassava.

With our help they will show us the preparation of one of their traditional foods, casabe (cassava flat bread). Immediately after this, the guide will introduce you to one of the last 4 Shamans of the Siona tribe in Ecuador and one of them will explain his cosmovision directly related to drink. A part of the energetic cleansing ritual will take place with their chants that come from a millennia oral tradition from Shaman to apprentice.

We will take a brief tour around this place in search of snakes, and more animals that we can find. In addition, we will find one of the largest trees in Ecuador: The Ceibo, where we can take pictures and hug this tree to have many good energies.

At 5:30 am we will take a tour to observe the sunrise and a variety of birds. At 8:00 am we will have breakfast at the hotel and get ready for the return at 9:30 am to the Cuyabeno Bridge where we will have a Box Lunch and then you will be picked up by our private bus that will take you to Lago Agrio so you can return to Quito either by bus or plane.
