Deep in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve in Sucumbíos Province, Ecuador, Green Forest Ecolodge offers travelers an immersive jungle experience surrounded by wildlife, winding rivers, and untouched forest. Our Cuyabeno Amazon tours allow travelers to explore one of the most biodiverse regions of the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador.

Our eco-friendly lodge is perfect for travelers looking for sustainable travel experiences and a chance to immerse themselves in the wild beauty of the Amazon. With 3, 4, and 5-day options, you have various opportunities to enjoy natural landscapes, see incredible wildlife within the rainforest, and learn fascinating insights about the rainforest with our experienced naturalist guides.

Upcoming Tour Dates – March 2026

In 2026, in March, we have five upcoming tour start dates:

Note, spaces are limited for each tour group to preserve the natural environment and provide a more personal experience.

We highly recommend four or five-day tours so you can get the most out of your Amazon experience, though three days is also a great option for those short on time who still are seeking a jungle experience.

By getting in contact with our office, you can coordinate getting to the Green Forest Ecolodge Meeting point at the Cuyabeno Bridge, no matter what part of the country you are coming from, and explore your options.

What to Expect

No experience is required to enjoy what we have to offer in Cuyabeno. After arriving, you are paired with travelers with similar interests in exploring what the Amazon rainforest has to offer. You will be assigned one of our trained naturalist guides, who are bilingual in English and Español. Your guide will assign you your cabin based on your reservation, and they will keep your adventure on schedule through various activities depending on the length of your stay.

Additionally, your guide will serve as a source of information about all things related to the Green Forest Ecolodge and the flora and fauna of the Amazon Jungle of Cuyabeno. We guarantee you’ll experience new species in their natural habitat while learning how they contribute to the greater ecosystem. All while having fun, of course.

During your time in the rainforest, you may:

Paddle through the flooded forests by canoe
Search for monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds high up in the trees
Swim in the lagoon at sunset
Take nighttime wildlife walks
Spot caimans and other nocturnal animals such as bats

Our guides are passionate about the Amazon and love sharing their knowledge of the region’s plants, wildlife, and culture.
