Tour Overview

Experience the Lower Cuyabeno like never before aboard Killas (traditional dugout canoes), gliding silently through winding rivers and hidden lagoons. This immersive journey allows travelers to explore pristine blackwater forests (igapó), spot diverse wildlife, and witness the rainforest waking up at dawn. The slow pace of the canoes provides the perfect opportunity to observe birds, mammals, and aquatic species in their natural habitat, while taking in the unique beauty of the Amazon ecosystem. As you navigate deeper into the heart of the Cuyabeno Reserve, each bend in the river reveals new surprises—from flocks of colorful parrots at clay licks to the lush flora of primary rainforest. Guided by expert naturalists, this expedition offers a perfect blend of adventure and discovery, connecting travelers with the rhythms of the Amazon and creating memorable wildlife encounters that last a lifetime.
