V!VA User‘s Description

The Cuyabeno Lodge, run by Neotropic Tours, is a popular eco-lodge with minimal impact on the environment. Each cabaña has a thatched roof, with a roughly two-foot space between the wall and roof so you can bird and monkey watch from the comfort of your bed. Mosquitoes are not a serious problem as the rivers are black-water rivers that do not inhabit mosquitoes.

Most tours are four or five days but special arrangements can be made for groups. The cost of a four day tour is between $200.- and $250.-depending room-type and availability. Three meals a day, free tea, coffee and water and transportation from Lago Agrio to the lodge are all included. A typical tour includes bird watching at dawn, piranha-fishing, dolphin-watching, visit to the community, tours of the rivers by boat, afternoon swims and sunset viewing, and several walks through the rainforest day and night. The guides are all bilingual, certified guide nature specialists accompanied by Siona guides. It is recommended to tip your guide at the end of your trip.

Open year-round. Between November to March the lagoon could dry up and transportation from the park entrance to the lodge may be difficult. Be sure to ask ahead of time before booking in these months.
