4 dages Cuyabeno Amazon-oplevelse på Waita Lodge
Beskrivelse
Denne unikke Amazon-oplevelse giver dig mulighed for at opleve junglen på en unik måde. Cuyabeno er et af de mest biodiverse naturreservater på jorden. Der kan du se over 500 fuglearter, 100 pattedyr og over 400.000 plantearter. Derudover kan du nyde lokal mad, kanoture, padling og svømning for de mere eventyrlystne! I løbet af disse 4 dage vil du lære mere om de 5 oprindelige etniske grupper, der bor langs bredderne. Waita Lodge er den eneste samfundsbaserede lodge i reservatet. Derfor bidrager du ved at booke hos Ecuatraveling til den økonomiske vækst i området. Oven i købet er Waita en økolodge, så opholdet der sikrer miljøbevarelse og kulturel bevarelse. Disse er ekstremt vigtige, da Cuyabeno-reservatet er truet af olieindustrien og skovrydning, og det er afgørende at sikre dets bæredygtighed gennem rejser!

Our experience at Waita Lodge was amazing. The transfers by shuttle and motorized canoe was seamless. Our guide Carlos took care to explain the uses of various plants, spotted frogs, toucans, macaws, kingfishers, 5 species of monkeys, capybaras, and of course, the pink dolphins. He was so kind as to take the pictures while we used the binoculars to view the wildlife. So much to see and appreciate there. The meals prepared for us were excellent. We felt very fortunate to have this experience in the Amazon. Thank you to the staff at Waita Lodge and Ecuatraveling.
Dear Jennifer, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🌿 We're delighted to hear that your time at Waita Lodge was filled with such rich wildlife encounters and seamless logistics. Carlos and the entire team will be thrilled to know their care and knowledge made your journey through the Amazon so memorable—from spotting pink dolphins and monkeys to enjoying the delicious meals prepared for you. It’s truly a special place, and we're so glad you got to experience it with us. We deeply appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Ecuador! 🐒🦜🛶 Best regards, The Ecuatraveling & Waita Lodge Team
I had the most amazing 4 days at Waita Lodge and would loved to have stayed longer. The lodge was very comfortable, clean and relaxing and had everything we needed. Our food was always made with fresh ingredients and was really good. Our guide, Charlie, was so knowledgeable and I learned a huge amount about the wildlife, flora and fauna in the rainforest. His ability to recognise bird calls was incredible and I lost count of the number of species we encountered. He looked after us very well and his passion for the rainforest rubbed off on us all. I was lucky enough to see the pink river dolphins a few times, including when they swam up past the lodge so we could stand on the decking and watch them. I also saw sloths, various species of monkeys, macaws, capybaras (which were right outside the lodge grazing), caiman, snakes, toads, loads of unusual insects and spiders, and so many different birds. Overall the experience was unforgettable and I would encourage anyone who is interested in wildlife or plant life to book this trip. You won't regret it!
Dear Lucy, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿 We're thrilled to hear that your 4-day experience at Waita Lodge was unforgettable and that you felt so connected to the magic of the Amazon. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of the lodge, the fresh meals, and most importantly, the incredible wildlife encounters. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Charlie — his deep knowledge and passion for the rainforest truly make each journey special, and we’re glad he left such a lasting impression. Seeing pink river dolphins, capybaras right outside the lodge, and such a diverse range of species sounds like a dream! 🐬🦜🐒 Thank you for recommending this adventure to others — we hope to welcome you back one day for an even longer stay in the heart of the jungle!

Waita is a remote and isolated lodge that is ideal for birdwatching and animal viewing. We traveled there from Quito where it took one 45 minute flight, two taxi rides totaling 2 hours, a 3 hour shuttle, and a nearly 4 hour motorized canoe ride to reach the lodge, but for us the journey was nearly half the fun as our drivers expertly took care of us and shared their knowledge of the flora, fauna, and history of each area we passed through. When we arrived at Waita, they immediately welcomed us to rest and eat well with their masterful cooking and clean and cool lodgings. Everything we ate had so much care and flavor that I never wanted to leave lodge! But when we did, our expert Naturalist, Diego, made sure to carefully show and name each plant and animal that we came across, and he worked hard so that we had the absolute best tour of the jungle that we could possibly have. He kept us safe and taught us how to respect the jungle and the river, and he made sure that we got to see the rare and at ease animals and birds that lived along the Cuyabeno River. From monkeys, sloths, dolphins, otters, caimans, parrots, toucans, kingfishers, and more, we always saw something new and thriving every day. From the sounds of howler monkeys and birds every morning, to the clearest stars along the river at night, our time at Waita lodge was a truly magical and once in a life time experience and I would highly recommend their lodge and their tours to anyone wanting to experience the Amazon rainforest and the dignified tributaries that make up this world famous river!

Warm regards, The Ecuatraveling Team
Highly recommend booking through Ecuatraveling. We had an amazing time in the Waita lodge. We learned a lot about the Amazon jungle and loved the boat rides and hikes, but also managed to relax in the hammocks. We also stayed in Quito and did a day trip to the Cotopaxi.

We did the 4 day Cuyabeno tour with Ecuatraveling, it was just amazing! The lodge is one of the most remote lodges you can go to, the peace, nature and wildlife were beyond our imaginations. Every day there are around three different tours with a guide (greets to Jefferson) either with a Canoe or by foot. Some we also did at night! We saw pink dolphins otters, colourful birds, monkeys, snakes, tarantulas and much more! We are vegetarian, the food was very very good and freshly cooked. There is no phone reception in the djungle so do tell your family and friends beforehand that you are detoxing ;) And bring mosquito repellent! The staff of Ecuatraveling are super nice, it was very easy to book and they were available for all questions. I would definitely recommend!!
Hola Katharina :) Wow, we are happy to learn that your Cuyabeno tour was absolutely incredible! It's so refreshing to hear about your unforgettable experience with us. Being surrounded by such remote wilderness is awe-inspiring. And kudos to Jefferson for making your tours so memorable! From pink dolphins to tarantulas, it sounds like you encountered an array of fascinating wildlife. It's great to hear that even as vegetarians, you found our food delicious and freshly prepared. And I couldn't agree more about the importance of disconnecting in nature - what a perfect opportunity to detox from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us, and for the helpful tip about bringing mosquito repellent. Best, Ecuatraveling Staff
Thanks for this wonderful adventure! The guides Diego and Andres knew a lot about the flora and fauna of the area. The food was always top notch and freshly prepared, I can recommend the Waita Lodge to everyone!
Dear Dani! Bedankt voor je mooie recensie! Het klinkt alsof je een geweldig avontuur hebt gehad bij de Waita Lodge. Het is fantastisch om te horen dat de gidsen Diego en Andres zo deskundig waren over de flora en fauna in de omgeving, en dat het eten altijd vers en heerlijk was. We waarderen je aanbeveling van de Waita Lodge aan iedereen. We hopen je in de toekomst nogmaals te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur! Ecuatraveling Team!
I had a fantastic time at Waita Lodge! It is a beautiful place with lots of nature and animals. The guides were super good and explained everything about the jungle and the animals. The days were full of fun activities. Bird watching, SUPing, swimming, and of course walks through the jungle! In your free time you could relax in the hammocks, read a book or swim. I was there for 4 days and 3 nights and I would have happily stayed longer. Highly recommended!
Dear Laura, Ik ben zo blij te horen dat je een geweldige tijd hebt gehad bij Waita Lodge! Het is inderdaad een prachtige plek met veel natuur en dieren. De gidsen waren uitstekend en wisten alles goed uit te leggen over de jungle en de dieren. De dagen zaten vol met leuke activiteiten, zoals vogels spotten, suppen, zwemmen en natuurlijk wandelingen door de jungle! In je vrije tijd kon je heerlijk ontspannen in de hangmatten, een boek lezen of zwemmen. Ik verbleef er 4 dagen en 3 nachten, en ik zou met plezier langer zijn gebleven. Zeker een aanrader! Ecuatraveling Team!
