Antisana Ecological Reserve - Antisana Stop: A Scenic Viewpoint Along the Route to the Jungle

Antisana is a majestic and mysterious volcano on the western mountain range. It is the nucleus of this protected area in which we find moorlands and western Andean forests. Volcanic activity, glacial processes, and evolution have created amazing scenery along the way and a very diverse wildlife. Mirroring the volcano we find the Mica lagoon, where part of the water of Quito comes from. Aside from the lagoon there are also swamp areas where water collects during rainy season, forming seasonal lagoons such as Santa Lucia or Mauca Machay. There are several rivers that are born within the reserve which then slide through the western slopes and feed the rivers Coca and Napo; in the valley of Tambo there are hot springs. A few years ago it was a difficult place to access, but now it is one of the easiest places to visit from the capital and other surrounding areas.

Tena - Visit the Malecon area in Tena, the capital city of Napo province.

Tena is an inviting destination where travelers often find themselves captivated, spending days exploring its charms before or after venturing into the rainforest. Boasting a welcoming community, Tena is nestled amidst lush, jungle-covered hills, with a vibrant Malecon offering scenic views. It’s a haven for white-water enthusiasts, drawing rafting and kayaking aficionados from across the globe to navigate and revel in the abundance of surrounding rivers

Transfer from Tena to the Lodge: 60 minutes

Misahualli River - The last town before the rainforest is Monkey’s River Beach, just 30 minutes from the Eco-lodge.

A must-visit is Misahualli, Ecuador, located where the Misahuallí and Napo rivers meet. This tranquil town, offering stunning jungle views and a vast sandy beach, marks the end of the road.

Misahualli’s most beloved residents are its monkeys, often seen strolling on the beach or in the central park.

Suchipakari Rainforest Hotel Jungle Lodge Ecuador - Upon arrival at the Ecolodge, you’ll receive a welcome briefing. After lunch, we’ll equip you with rubber boots to begin exploring the primary forest along the Ceibo Ecological Trail. Here, you’ll find various walking routes of varying difficulty, ranging from one-and-a-half hours to four hours. These trails will lead you through dense and humid jungle, traversing muddy paths and encountering diverse wildlife. Throughout the journey, your local guide will unveil the hidden secrets and wonders of the jungle.

Return to the lodge, to change into your swimming attire before heading to the river beach.

Rio Pusuno - After an invigorating jungle hike, refresh yourself with a revitalizing swim in the river. Relax on a buoy, and challenge yourself with a bit of hand-rowing amidst the breathtaking scenery. Whether alone or with a companion, find serenity as you gaze at the sky and lush riverbanks, appreciating the tranquil beauty of the Amazon. Don’t forget your life jacket and sandals for safety.

Suchipakari Amazon Lodge & Jungle Spa - Following dinner, embark on an exhilarating night hike through the Amazon jungle! Armed with a flashlight and camera, delve into the mystical world of the nocturnal rainforest. Capture the enchanting sounds of fishing bats, owls, intriguing insects, tarantulas, captivating toads, and melodic frogs. Stay alert, as you may also come across fascinating snakes along the way.

You’ll have the opportunity to meet a family in Ahuano whose livelihood centers around crafting decorative pottery.

Then return to the Eco-Lodge

SuchiPakari, a pretty ecolodge, but does not provide enough food for their guests!!! - We bought this 4-night package for an all-inclusive stay at Suchikapari and have four full days of activities in the Amazon jungle. The tours and activities were wonderful, the tour guide Brian really paid personal attention to our group and is a very personable young man. We really enjoyed having him as our tour guide and we would highly recommend him to anyone interested in taking a tour from this company to request him. The resort itself is very nice and the food quality is good, but they do not provide enough food at dinner for the guests. They serve buffet style with 5-6 trays of entrees, but once these trays are emptied, that’s it, there are no refills. I saw plenty of guests finally complaining on my third night there, and we finally decided to complain as well to add weight to our voices. It backfired badly because the next night (our fourth and last night being there), they decided to plate our dinner and served all the guests at their table instead of doing buffet style. Each person is given a half bowl of onion soup, which was salty but edible, and a plate with a meager portion of sad-looking salad, two small pieces of flattened fried chicken, a side of white rice and four wheels of fried plantains. Oh, and don’t let me forget, a small piece of flan that didn’t taste like flan. I am deeply disappointed in the manager, does he not understand the power of a TripAdvisor review???? If we were able to call UberEats or Doordash, it wouldn’t be so bad. But we are literally in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, there is nowhere to go eat except at this one-and-only open air buffet/dinner on-site, and if they think they are almighty and powerful to retaliate by serving their guests dinner this way tonight, I hope they go out of business soon. I am glad I brought granola bars from the US with me so at least I have something to fill in until the morning. Other small inconveniences worth mentioning is that the water pressure is rather lacking, so taking a shower when everyone else is might reduce you to a trickle of water, because that happened to me on two separate days. The entry door has a huge gap on the bottom, so we get a few giant cockroaches, beetles and several small unidentifiable flying insects everywhere every night, we got bitten badly the first night’s sleep. After that, we slept with long sleeves and long pants so we wouldn’t get bitten again. If I can give separately 10 stars to the activities and tour guide Brian, I would! If I can give 1 star to SuchiPakari, I definitely would!!!! The one star is because the resort is actually nice looking, but the lack of sufficient food is simply unbelievable!!!

Interesting jungle trek. Unpleasant accommodations. Communication Lacking - We completely enjoyed our 2 days of excursions with David, our local guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and lots of fun. The ride back to Quito was a long, long trip, due to the mountain pass being closed because of a landslide. Half way to Quito we had to turn around, go back to almost the beginning of our drive and take another route. Our driver, Santiago, drove through the night back through Tena, down to Banos, and up to Quito airport to get us to a flight at 8:30am. What would have been a 4 hour ride, turned into almost a 14 hour trip. Santiago was very professional, kind and determined to get us where we needed to go. We were very thankful for him. However, I have some comments that need to be said. I gave the experience only 3 stars for the following reasons: 1. We were picked up at 4:30 am in Quito at our hotel. We didn't know at the time, this was because of the landslide, and traffic passing through the area only during specified hours. (we figured this out over the next couple of days) At 9:00am we were dropped off at a coffee shop in Tena and told a taxi would take us to the lodge. About 20 minutes later a taxi came, asked us what lodge we were staying at. We had no idea about the lodge name, only the town. None of the travel details showed a name of the accommodation. 2. We took the taxi, only because the driver had a version of my name in an email. He drove us about 45 minutes to the lodge. There we were dropped off at a sign, and a fellow with a wheel barrow came to take our luggage down a long path to the main reception. When we arrived there at 10:30am no one greeted us, no one knew our names, no one told us what to expect next. We were in the middle of nowhere, with no clue what was going on. Only a couple of staff were there and no other guests. Eventually someone gave us a room key and told us to come back at 1:00 for lunch. Someone should have greeted us and explained our itinerary for the next 3 days. After dinner we met our guide, David, who provided the outline. 3. We were at the SuchiPakari Jungle Lodge. The room was smelly from dampness and septic. There were no screens to allow us to open the doors or windows at night to let a breeze in. Now the room was smelly and stuffy. The towels had holes and stains in them. The sheets were lumpy and old also. I was not confident that the bed spread or pillows had been washed in some time, as they smelled also. (After returning home, I looked up the lodge on line. The photos show much brighter, pleasant looking rooms). The table clothes in the dining room were dirty. They were not changed the entire time we were there. White wine was served at room temperature, The waiter didn't understand why we wanted chilled wine. There was no 'expert mixologist' at the bar (as stated on their website), not even a bar tender. We had to find someone who could get us a beer. 4. There seemed to be no one to talk to about our return trip to Quito. We asked our guide, David, to help us with the conversation and translation in order to plan it. He got the ball rolling and eventually the plan was for Santiago to drive us all the way to Quito. There needed to be much better communication about what to expect for this 4 day trip to the Amazon. Of the 4 days, 2 were all travel. We did not understand about the problems with the landslide in the mountains, and travel taking so much longer. We should have known the name of our lodge, someone should have welcomed us when we arrived and provided information about our activities for the next 3 days.
