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 7-hour bus trip, then 2 hours 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 landscape is amazon jungle, rivers and lagoons. We dropped in altitude from 1600M (5200 ft.) to 250M (800 ft). Note the circular image on the map
marking the equator.

Much 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.
