Cuyabeno River
Río Cuyabeno
The winding black-water river that runs from the entrance bridge to Laguna Grande. A motorized canoe trip takes about 2 to 3 hours, with monkeys, sloths, and birds along the way.
The Río Cuyabeno is the only route into the reserve, a narrow, winding river flanked by dense rainforest. Along the boat journey, guides often stop to point out squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, hoatzins, and green iguanas. With luck, you may spot a water boa basking in the sun. All the rainforest lodges are built along this river. Protect yourself from sun and rain, and make sure your camera is waterproof.
