THE MYSTICAL AMAZON AWAITS: UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF CUYABENO
Conservation ecologist Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil, a member of the United Nations team that selected
Ecuador’s first 39 protected areas, was the visionary who proposed the creation of the Cuyabeno
Wildlife Reserve and the Yasuni National Park. Later, he pioneered ecotourism in Cuyabeno by
building the very first lodge. Ofcourse, he chose the best spot, a small island near the shore of Lake
Cuyabeno itself.
For the best wildlife observation, birdwatching, swimming and watching Cuyabeno’s legendary
sunsets, there’s no better place to be than the lake. Most lodges are downstream from the lake
requiring a half-hour boat ride each way to get there.
Lodges along the river lack a spectacular lake view while our Cuyabeno Lodge offers a front-row
seat to the reserve’s most breathtaking view of the entire reserve, right from our viewing deck. Here
the magic truly happens, as monkeys gather at your doorstep, sunsets paint the water in gold and
crimson, and the rainforest surrounds you in its timeless rhythm.
Our lodge offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, making it the ideal base to
experience Cuyabeno’s iconic highlights: abundant wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and the soulstirring peace of the Amazon.
