Itinerary

Day 1
Lower amazon: Canoe, trek, animal rescue center, chocolate,

The tour begins at 8:30 am from the Akangau Jungle Expeditions office in Tena.  Travel by bus to the Punta region then by motorized canoe along the Napo River and explore different areas along the way.

The first stop is a guided tour in the jungle to an ancient Ceibo tree, believed to be more than 200 years old!  The guide will also point out various plants, fruits and trees along the way.  After the hike, continue down the river to visit a local Kichwa indigenous family.  They will give a tour of their cacao farm then teach you how to make chocolate!

For the adventurous at heart, continue the next leg of the journey by floating down the river in an inner tube, which is considered a mild, class I aquatic sport.    This activity is optional and continuing by canoe is also available.

However you go, the next stop is to the animal rescue center, AmaZOOnico.  Learn how they rehabilitate, reintroduce and care for animals that have been victims of illegal trafficking.  Not all animals can be reintroduced but those who can, are set loose in a nearby protected forest called Selva Viva.

We will visit by canoe the monkeys island. who live in their natural state.

The next stop along the Napo River tour is to visit another local family and spend time at the Caiman Lake.  Also, we learn about indigenous weapons, tools and traps, some of which are still being used by the people today.

Lunch

After lunch, it’s time to travel towards the Upper Amazon to the Uchuculin Village.  After a short walk through the jungle, you will arrive at the Eco-Dreams Lodge.  Settle in and enjoy the beautiful surroundings before meeting at the dining room for a delicious meal.

After dinner, relax in the hammocks and prepare for the next day’s exciting adventures

We had an incredible time on this Amazon tour with my partner and his family. From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the experience was unforgettable. The lodge itself is pretty simple, but it was always clean and comfortable. What really made our stay special was the warm and welcoming staff, who were more than happy to show us around and make us feel at home. Our guide Ben was absolutely fantastic. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and always accommodating. He made sure everyone in our group, including someone with a sprained ankle and my partner’s dad, could enjoy the tour by adjusting activities as needed. His passion for the Amazon was contagious, and we learned so much from him. The itinerary was packed with amazing experiences, from making chocolate to visiting waterfalls and spotting wildlife like monkeys. Every day brought something new and exciting, and we truly felt immersed in the beauty of the rainforest. Overall, this was a wonderful adventure, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized Amazon tour!

Beautiful location. But a poorly organized trip. Especially when it came to arrival/departures, many things were unclear. Did not get to experience the things promised on the itinerary. Little care for details. I would not do it again.

I enjoyed my two night excursion with my guide Efrain. He made sure i understood him and helped all along the way. The facilities could have been fresher and newly painted, but it was fine. The food was good, they provided what I had requested. We didn’t see wildlife or birds, but heard a lot of sounds in the jungle.
