DAY 2: After breakfast, we will head to the Pusuno Bajo port, where we will board a motorized canoe for a 45-minute ride downstream. During the journey, you will enjoy the scenery of the Napo River and spot bird and monkey species unique to the area. Our first destination will be Amazoonico, an animal rescue center located on the Arajuno River. With the help of volunteer guides, we will learn about species such as ocelots, tapirs, wild pigs, and a variety of birds, including parrots, toucans, and even macaws, all of which are fighting every day to adapt to nature. This part of the tour is crucial in continuing to ensure the protection of these animals and raising environmental awareness. We will continue our journey to Anaconda Island, where the Caiman Lagoon awaits us, a fascinating display of wildlife, including the prehistoric bird “Hoatzin,” woolly monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and even caimans. Don’t forget your binoculars so you don’t miss any details.
