Cuyabeno Amazon Jungle Tour

The Cuyabeno Amazon Jungle reserve consists of a tour through a complex of rivers, lagoons, and floating forests. This protected area is characterized by its high biodiversity and interrelationships between the species inhabiting it. The Reserve’s geomorphology results from the rivers carrying sediment and materials from the Andes, principally the Aguarico River. The huge volume of water cascading down from the mountains maintains the naturally high water levels, ensuring that the river is navigable all year round. The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve has more than ten monkey species, 500 bird species, and an incredible record of 307 tree species per hectare. There are two seasons: dry and rainy. The entrance is by fluvial (river)

Cuyabeno Flora and Fauna

All large Amazon mammals are present: the lowland tapirs, two species of deer, all Amazon cats, including jaguars and pumas, capybaras, two species of dolphins, manatees, both otter species, giant otter and neotropical otter, etc. Ten species represent monkeys, while dozens of species represent rodents and bats, and more than 500 species of birds have been observed. At the peak of the wet season, thousands of hectares of the forest become inundated, forming a paradise for an estimated number of 350 fish species, two species of cayman, boa constrictors, and anacondas. At the same time, countless frogs and toads sing their never-ending concerts. Dolphins have been seen swimming deep in the inundated forest during high water, with an incredible record of 307 tree species per hectare.
