Cuyabeno Wildlife Preserve Adventure

 Journeying to the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve at Lago Agrio, Ecuador required a one-hour taxi ride, then a flight from southern to northern Ecuador followed by a bus trip, then further in a van to a boat landing on the target river. From there, it's only 3 hours by canoe to the reserve.

It was so worth it.

Cuyabeno is located in a national forest at the northeast corner of Ecuador where the border meets Columbia and Peru. The trip was 900K but we also travelled from an altitude of 1600M to 250M.

Most of our 3 day expedition
was spent in a canoe.



Vamos!













Roots that grow from the top of the tree down.
Imagine that.

We stopped at a village of the Sionna tribe
where Olga showed us how to uproot yuca
plants and magically turn them into tortillas
in less than an hour.
Stay tuned for the coming video.
