See the wildlife in Cuyabeno! - Amazing! So much fun! We saw so much wildlife: 7 types of monkeys, birds, caimans, sloths, snakes, river dolphins. For being way far from civilization, they feed you well, you sleep comfortably, guide at Green Forest Lodge was great! Getting there is a long trip, but worth it. Takiri was easy to work with, good communication, very reliable. Highly recommended!

Beautiful experience, sustainable company!! - We took the 4 day trip with my family to Cuyabeno and it was beautiful. It was so well organized, the guide Gustavo was knowledgeable and respectful of the nature and the environment. You can notice they care about the animals, the people in the communities and are very sustainable in their practices. We heard from another group they were feeding caimans and we were very satisfied to hear Takiri advised against it, if you respect animals and the environment you don't want to interrupt their environment like this. Very satisfied with the service, the lodging option and all the activities. Make sure you go with them!!

Amazing - I highly recommend taking a trip with these guys. It's one of the smaller lodges so there's less people, our guide for the group was absolutely great amd the facilities and activities were all very well organised. You won't regret it.

Cuyabeno : Trip personally organised - Takiri Travel organize a trip to Cuyabeno for my Family visiting ecuador. From what they told, it was the best part of their travel. Here what I liked about it : - Since my family don't speak english or spanish, they found a guide who speaks really good french. The guide was nice and had a amazing knowledge about wild life, and is definitively passionate about it. - My family travel with my 4 years old twin sisters, the crew's lodge is definitively kids friendly, and the cook even made a cake for their birthday on a super short notice. - Takiri agent did not limit the organisation to Cuyabeno but also give tips for things to see on the way, and hotels too. - Transport can be organise on demand Definitively recommend to people how need help to organize trips to contact Takiri Travel.

Hassle-Free Tours - Jitske at Takiri Travel was super helpful in advising and providing information for a canyoning day tour in Banos, Ecuador and a 4-day Jungle Tour in the Amazon in Cuyabeno, Ecuador. Both tours were organized well and the guides for each tour were professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining.
