Aguarico River
Río Aguarico
A broad whitewater river along the southern edge of the reserve, linking the Secoya and Cofán communities. It is the waterway for traveling deep into the lower reserve.
The Aguarico River rises in the Andes, and its murky brown water contrasts sharply with the blackwater of Cuyabeno. The Cuyabeno River joins it near the Cuyabeno Beach community. Along the river, long boats can carry visitors to the Secoya, Cofán and Kichwa communities, as well as to the Zancudococha Lagoon downstream. The journey is long, and it generally requires joining a deep-immersion tour of four to five days or more.
