10/10 Experience, No Better Way to See the Amazon!
Utterly phenomenal experience at the Nicky Lodge in Cuyabeno Reserve with Responsible Travel. I saw more wildlife than I've ever seen in my life---spectacled caimans, giant otters, multiple types of monkeys, sloths, rare tree frogs, and even pink river dolphins. The food was delicious, the staff was so kind and knowledgeable. It was a rejuvenating experience, and the highlight of my two months in Ecuador. I highly recommend staying at the lodge for as long as you can. None of us wanted to leave at the end of our stay!

Rain Forest Immersion
We went at the beginning of March, and it rained only once moderately during the four days. This meant we were out exploring nature as early as 6.30 am. Our group consisted of eight congenial individuals, all passionate nature lovers and travelers, which made excursions and meal times interesting and enjoyable.
The rain forest immersion began as soon as our motor canoe entered the forest. From now on, we were surrounded by the sounds of insects, calls of birds and mammals, flowers, enticing smells, dense foliage, and, of course, wildlife: different species of apes, caimans (regular and black), pink dolphins (in a lagoon), snakes, huge spiders, and more. The camouflage of some of these animals is so perfect that I occasionally looked directly at an animal without seeing it -- until five fingers pointed at it, and it moved! I also liked the dramatic after-dark canoe rides during which insects, large bats, and night birds were exposed in the guide's beam of light. And at the end of the day the spoils of civilization seemed twice as sweet (although our showers never got warm). Our guide, Rom, was fantastic.

WOW! Amazing experience of the Amazon rainforest
Amazing experience of the Amazon rainforest with Nicky Amazon Lodge. Our guide Jefferson was very knowledgable and wonderful, we saw so many animals indluding different species of monkeys, birds, reptiles, and even dolphins! The food was great fresh meals everyday.
We spent five days there and we didn't want to leave. Jungle sounds, animal species, communities welcoming you, it is a tour which turns you inside out. You feel as if you come back to the energy source.
