Cuyabeno Tours
Cuyabeno is located far into the Amazon, only reachable by boat. Because of that, it is one of the most pristine places on the planet. You can reach it from Lago Agrio, which is the pick-up point for the Cuyabeno Amazon Tours.
The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve has 14 lagoons and trees that can reach 164 inches. With this in mind, you’ll see the forest going until the land disappears and becomes small canals. You’ll find many different species and ecosystems. This surreal scenery is called the flooded Amazon forest. Here, you can see an extensive variety of animals from pink dolphins, manatees, monkeys, and so on.
About the local communities, you will get to know about the Siona, Secoya, Cofan, and Kichwa. All of them will tell you more about their ways of living, handicrafts, medicinal plants and so much more.

Yasuni Tours
This is one of the main destinations on Amazon Tours. The Yasuni Biosphere Reserve is the largest protected area in the Ecuadorian continental land. You can get here by plane or car. Then depending on your destination, you’ll have to get a boat.
One of Rebecca Adventure Travel’s interns, Indi, went to the Yasuni National Park. In order to experience for herself the Amazon rainforest, “the head of the community was a woman, and they call her ‘Abuela’ which means grandmother in Spanish. She sang a song to welcome us, and we could try the traditional drink called ‘Chicha’. She was a very nice and strong lady, and it was nice meeting her and hearing her stories about life in the Amazon.”
There are only a few lodges and more campsites, one’s more glamping style and others more rudimentary. Be aware that the campsites have no electricity so you will need power banks for your electronic devices. Since you are more deep into the rainforest, your trip will be a more Amazonian lifestyle. The local communities will tell you how they live. And how they have adapted their traditions to the occidental way of living.
If you are not sure which one of the Amazon Tours suits you. You can read about the 5 major differences between Cuyabeno and Yasuni Reserve.
There are two Amazon Tours in the Yasuni, for explorers and adventure lovers. For the first one, you’ll stay at a lodge, and there are incredible activities planned like hiking, canopying, caiman spotting by night, creek paddling, and more.
And for real adventurers, the kayak tour is recommended. You will kayak from campsite to campsite. Which is hosted by the Kichwa communities of this very remote area.
Enjoy the Ecuadorian Amazon region, special memories are guaranteed!

Napo Tours
Another Amazon Tours destination is Tena, located in Napo province. A small town near Cuyabeno but not as deep into the jungle so here, you are more in touch with the world in general. Nevertheless, you can still spot animals and get to know local communities. Transportation to Napo is easier since you can get here by car or by bus.
The activities in Napo are more adventurous: like tubbing and rafting. Also, there are amazing routes to hike to the incredible waterfalls. You’ll have the chance to see the clay lick bank called Saladero. Hundreds of parrots and parakeets will come to lick the soil that is rich in minerals. All of them help the birds to improve their digestion.
If you want to support a local refuge AmaZoonico Rescue is an animal rescue center. It has sheltered moreover 3,500 animals since its beginning and 1,500 of them have been brought back to nature. You will see rescued monkeys, macaws, ocelots, and more.
Here the Kichwa community will welcome all the visitors to let them know about ancestral traditions, medicinal plants, their relationship with nature, and how they live on the banks of the river.

What Our Travelers Say About Us
Amazing Adventure!
This was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was organized so that every day was better than the last. From hiking up volcanos to see a beautiful crater lake to hiking to a basecamp below a glacier the views were amazing! We also biked down a mountain and went rafting. All the equipment and support along the way was top notch and the people who supported us treated us like family!! This was a trip I will never forget and look forward to booking another trip with them!

Best Experience Ever!
For 4 days we were dropped in the jungle by Rebecca. And the greatest experience ever! When they say dropped it is true, in the Amazone you are in the middle of nowhere. We saw so many different types of wildlife, with my personal favorite being a sloth:) The guides, chefs, and transportation were professional and nice. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the future.
Marloes V.
Fantastic tour of Ecuador!
We did the 19-day “relax” tour. All the guides we had were excellent, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The transfers all went smoothly, but be aware that some of them are long. The price for seeing much of the country. The various activities were fun and again the guides were excellent. Rebecca Travel as a direct tour organizer was able to make some minor modifications to the tour which is not possible with some of the larger tour websites. I would highly recommend it 🙂
