The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is a breathtaking ecosystem best explored by canoe. Drifting through its labyrinth of rivers and lagoons offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the Amazon’s rich biodiversity up close. At Caiman Eco-Lodge, canoe excursions provide guests with an eco-friendly, immersive adventure into one of the most pristine areas of the rainforest.
Why Canoeing is the Best Way to Explore Cuyabeno
Canoeing allows for a quiet and sustainable journey through the Amazon, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing wildlife encounters. Unlike motorboats, canoes let you move silently through the water, increasing your chances of spotting elusive species such as pink river dolphins, giant river otters, and sloths. Canoes also grant access to hidden waterways and flooded forests that remain untouched by larger vessels.
