Welcome to the fantastic world of the Ecuadorian Amazon Forest «YARINA ECOLOGICAL RESERVE«, a veritable paradise located in the province of Orellana, in the heart of YASUNÍ National Park.

The adventure starts with a 30-minute flight from Quito to El Coca, traversing the majestic Andes, and flying over the beautiful Ecuadorian forest. Then you will sail through the waters of the Napo River, the main tributary of the Amazonas River, up to its confluence with Rio Maduro.

The crossing from El Coca toward the Yarina Ecological Reserve is comfortably done in power-driven canoes, and takes about one hour, during which time you can enjoy the view of the beautiful riverside landscapes and the homes of Quichua communities, that even today keep their customs and traditions, such as the making of «chica de yuca» (a traditional saliva-fermented yuca drink).

Get ready to enjoy days filled with adventures, learning and new discoveries.

We had an incredible time on this Amazon tour with my partner and his family. From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the experience was unforgettable. The lodge itself is pretty simple, but it was always clean and comfortable. What really made our stay special was the warm and welcoming staff, who were more than happy to show us around and make us feel at home. Our guide Ben was absolutely fantastic. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and always accommodating. He made sure everyone in our group, including someone with a sprained ankle and my partner’s dad, could enjoy the tour by adjusting activities as needed. His passion for the Amazon was contagious, and we learned so much from him. The itinerary was packed with amazing experiences, from making chocolate to visiting waterfalls and spotting wildlife like monkeys. Every day brought something new and exciting, and we truly felt immersed in the beauty of the rainforest. Overall, this was a wonderful adventure, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized Amazon tour!

Beautiful location. But a poorly organized trip. Especially when it came to arrival/departures, many things were unclear. Did not get to experience the things promised on the itinerary. Little care for details. I would not do it again.

I enjoyed my two night excursion with my guide Efrain. He made sure i understood him and helped all along the way. The facilities could have been fresher and newly painted, but it was fine. The food was good, they provided what I had requested. We didn’t see wildlife or birds, but heard a lot of sounds in the jungle.

By Ellen J for Route of dreams 2 days / 2 nights on Dec 21, 2023

We are so happy that Efrain could help assist in your experience to be the best it could be. We appreciate your feedback as it will help improve experiences for the future! Thank you for the review!
