Siona Lodge

After breakfast, take the canoe and go downstream to visit Puerto Bolivar community that is the center of the Siona ethnic group. On the way you can admire the flora and fauna in Cuyabeno River. There you will be able experience native culture as it has existed, unchanged, for millennia. The local Shaman will instruct you in some of their religious practices and explain their ancestral medicinal knowledge, passed down from ancestors whose intimate relationship and deep understanding of the natural resources and rhythms of the jungle are the basis for many of our modern pharmaceuticals.

You also will share the elaboration and tasting of the “Casabe” a typical dish made with yuca (main carbohydrate food community).

Return to the lodge and in the afternoon visit the lagoon to see the variety of birds.

After dinner, your guide will organize a night navigation in the nearby rivers and lagoons to spot for alligators.

Today a walk in the jungle is organized for the Palma red trail around 3 to 5 hours approximately, on the way we can see its abundant flora, different ecosystems and medicinal plants.

In the afternoon you will be part of an extraordinary activity, eco-fishing which consists in fishing and releasing fish.

We will seek for pink dolphins around the lagoon and receive the sunset in the middle of the lagoon. If you wish you can swim in the lagoon. Farewell dinner at the lodge.

We highly recommend to wake up early in the morning and before breakfast make a walk looking for birds, dolphins and possible more animals since the animals are more active in the morning.

After breakfast return in canoe towards Cuyabeno bridge, and then transfer to Lago Agrio’s airport in order to take your flight back to Quito.
