4-daagse Cuyabeno Amazon-ervaring in Waita Lodge

Waita is a remote and isolated lodge that is ideal for birdwatching and animal viewing. We traveled there from Quito where it took one 45 minute flight, two taxi rides totaling 2 hours, a 3 hour shuttle, and a nearly 4 hour motorized canoe ride to reach the lodge, but for us the journey was nearly half the fun as our drivers expertly took care of us and shared their knowledge of the flora, fauna, and history of each area we passed through. When we arrived at Waita, they immediately welcomed us to rest and eat well with their masterful cooking and clean and cool lodgings. Everything we ate had so much care and flavor that I never wanted to leave lodge! But when we did, our expert Naturalist, Diego, made sure to carefully show and name each plant and animal that we came across, and he worked hard so that we had the absolute best tour of the jungle that we could possibly have. He kept us safe and taught us how to respect the jungle and the river, and he made sure that we got to see the rare and at ease animals and birds that lived along the Cuyabeno River. From monkeys, sloths, dolphins, otters, caimans, parrots, toucans, kingfishers, and more, we always saw something new and thriving every day. From the sounds of howler monkeys and birds every morning, to the clearest stars along the river at night, our time at Waita lodge was a truly magical and once in a life time experience and I would highly recommend their lodge and their tours to anyone wanting to experience the Amazon rainforest and the dignified tributaries that make up this world famous river!

Highly recommend booking through Ecuatraveling. We had an amazing time in the Waita lodge. We learned a lot about the Amazon jungle and loved the boat rides and hikes, but also managed to relax in the hammocks. We also stayed in Quito and did a day trip to the Cotopaxi.

Surprised about this incredible experience. The food was really healthy everyday and the people who hosted the trip were super friendly. The guides have so much knowledge about the flora and fauna and they spot each animal during all the activities. I enjoyed this trip so much, it was one of the most incredible trips of my life. I would definitely recommend this trip!!
