Activities
- Misicocha / Raft (AM)
Just 15 minutes upstream by boat is the private reserve of Casa del Suizo, home to a primary forest. Upon arriving at the beach, you will hike approximately 100 meters into the reserve, where you can rest in a small native cabin. Afterwards, you will continue with a tour of the forest interior. This unique experience will take you through picturesque streams, muddy paths under the natural shade of trees and native plants, where the local guide, with his impressive knowledge of the use of medicinal plants, will immerse you in the secrets of the rainforest.
After the hike, with the help of the guide, you will be able to build a typical local boat made of balsa wood, which you will use to return downstream to La Casa del Suizo in approximately half an hour. This experience lasts 4 hours and has a medium level of difficulty. We recommend wearing long-sleeved clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and swimwear.
- Cosano / Tubing / Amazonian (AM)
A 20-minute boat ride will take you to Cosano, a private property with a primary forest along the Arajuno River. Here, you will have the opportunity to go on hikes of varying levels of difficulty. From different points in this beautiful place, you can see the native village of Ahuano, as well as the flow of small rivers that empty into the great Napo River. During the tour, the local guide will share with you the fascinating world of the plants and animals that inhabit this jungle. After this experience, you will return to La Casa del Suizo by floating down the Arajuno River on a buoy, enjoying a peaceful and relaxing trip. This is a unique opportunity to be close to nature, perhaps even spotting an ocelot or a tapir.
On the other hand, AmaZoonico is a rescue sanctuary for Amazonian animals, run by volunteer guides who will share the fascinating, and sometimes tragic, stories of the center's residents, from caimans to macaws, who have struggled to readjust to nature after being sold on the black market. By visiting AmaZoonico, you are helping to ensure the protection of these unique animals.
This experience lasts 3 hours and has a medium level of difficulty. The entrance fee is $3.50 per person. We recommend wearing long sleeves, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a swimsuit.
