NATIONAL PARK YASUNI AND RESERVE CUYABENO
Both of these destinations have similar habitats with some differences so that they offer different types of flora and fauna. They are both good for sport fishing, observing a great variety of birds, insects, amphibions, gray and pink dolphins, terrestrial animals such as the wild hog, tapir, and the always difficult to see jaguar, anaconda, and manatee. Perhaps you will be the exception on this trip of adventure and mystery. Our offer is to visit and observe paths that have rarely been explored before and are some of the most remote places of the Ecuadorian forest.

Vision.- We try to maintain the forest in its pure state, and assist the indigenous groups living in the high Amazon of Ecuador to live sustainably through ecotourism projects. Our major goal is to protect the fauna and the flora or the Ecuadorian rainforest. We cannot continue to permit the hunting of animals; we should give an alternative to the natives so that they change their daily diet. As one of the few alternatives we believe that through developing a shared tourism, they will be able to maintain and enjoy another form of life and living.
