4-Day Yasuní National Park Jungle Tour from Coca with Kichwa Visit

• Your journey starts with a 25-minute flight from Quito to Coca, where our staff will pick you up and transfer you to the port along the banks of the Napo River. There, your bilingual guide will explain safety procedures before you embark on a 2-hour boat trip on the great Ecuadorian affluent of the Amazon, the Napo River. During the journey, you will get a taste of the amazing Amazon rainforest.
• At the lodge, the staff will welcome you with refreshing cold drinks before you begin your adventure exploring the most biodiverse green jungle on the planet, the Amazon Rainforest.
• In the late afternoon, you will enjoy a short walk on the nearby trails or a canoe ride surrounded by wildlife in its natural habitat, with many opportunities to observe colourful birds and have a close encounter with some of the world's second-largest trees, such as kapok trees, as well as mahogany, cedars, and many other plants connected to the culture through their uses in medicine, food, fibre, wood for building houses, and handicrafts. After this pleasant walk, we return to the lodge, where our chef will offer a wide variety of national and international fusion cuisine prepared with local techniques and local organic ingredients, also catering for vegetarians and vegans.
• Your guide will give a briefing and details about the next day's activities in the Amazon Rainforest while you enjoy drinks and cocktails.

• After breakfast, experience the wildlife from the treetops from a tower. To get there, your tour leaders will take you on a 20-minute canoe ride, followed by a short 20-minute walk. From above, enjoy a great view of the green jungle and take time to appreciate the wonderful sounds of the wildlife, including colourful birds such as parrots and toucans, as well as monkeys. The tower gives you an amazing perspective, opening up a whole new world of Amazon biodiversity that is often difficult and almost impossible to see from the understory.
• We will go back to the lodge for lunch.
• In the afternoon, the journey continues along the nearby trails, searching for more Amazonian creatures and walking through trails that last about 3 hours in the Amazon jungle, the most biodiverse tropical rainforest on the planet.

You will be back at about 7 pm at the lodge to have a rest and get ready for dinner.

• After breakfast, you will go to visit the parrots' wall at Yasuní National Park for a wonderful view of hundreds of parrots searching for a place to land and eat the earth as part of their digestion process.
• Here, you will see Mealy Amazon, yellow-crowned, orange-winged, and blue-headed parrots. Afterwards, we will go back to the Community Centre.
• Here, you can learn how the community lives in harmony with the Amazon Rainforest.
• You will learn about their customs, drinks, food, and Kichwa culture, and discover how local life is environmentally sustainable.
• You will learn about their conservation and entrepreneurship projects (WASI WARMI), along with a handicrafts activity.
• Appetizers will be served in the community, and you will taste the traditional food of the Kichwa tribe, then get ready to play with the blowgun, an ancient Kichwa hunting weapon.
• In the afternoon, you will have the last opportunity to explore the lake to find afternoon wildlife activity and enjoy the best sunset over the Amazon. It will be optional for guests to take a night walk to see insects, spiders, snakes, and frogs.

• After breakfast, head back to Coca in time to catch your flight, bus, or private transportation back to Quito.
