Route of the river dolphins- Cuyabeno Reserve – 4 days/ 3 nights
This Amazon region is characterized by large expanses of tropical forest where trees such as Ceibo, Sande and Mahogany can easily reach more than 50 meters in height. However, there are areas where water replaces the firm soil, forming lagoons. As a result, the only means of transportation is via water and the canoe is the only way to move between the trees and vegetation. This place is commonly known as the flooded forests of the Amazon.
The Cuyabeno Reserve gets its name from the Cuyabeno River, which travels through the heart of the reserve creating 14 different lagoons. This area is considered to be the most extensive wetland in all of the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. The flooded forests are a natural habitat for a variety of animals such as dolphins, manatees, caimans, anacondas and otters. It’s also home to the Huarango tree, which is the most unique tree in the reserve. This remarkable tree has the deepest root system of any tree in the world and uses the roots to suck up water for the tree and also brings it to the topsoil for other plants as well.
