Day 1 - Arrive and get your first impressions of the rainforest
Morning - Departure from Coca down the Napo river to Sinchi Wayra
We welcome you on an adventure down one of the most unique and biodiverse rivers of the Amazon headwaters, the Napo. We begin our journey by picking you up at the airport or at the pier and traveling two and a half hours in a motorized canoe deep into the Yasuní national park. During the trip we may see a variety of species of birds, mammals, and aquatic turtles, as we reach our destination, Sinchi Wayra. Welcome to an authentic jungle paradise. Make yourself comfortable in your private room, and then explore the common areas and surrounding garden, while lunch is prepared for you.
Afternoon - Anaconda Back Trail
In the rainforest directly behind Sinchi Wayra is the Anaconda back trail. We will learn about the environment during this 1-2 hour jungle hike. The forest is very wet here, so we will walk on the backs of fallen palm trees. Our knowledgeable guides will help spot and identify animals. We may see any of a variety of species of monkeys, poison dart frogs, parrots, toucans, sloths, or anteaters. We will return during dusk, while many animals are most active, so bring a headlamp! When you return, our chef will prepare you a beautiful and artistic dinner. A fusion of local foods and world-class cuisine await you.
Night - Discovering nocturnal life on a night walk
After dinner, in the dark, we set off with flashlights on a winding trail that leads through the dense rainforest. There we discover numerous nocturnal species, from bizarre insects, exotic frogs and toads, to small snakes. Our guides tell us about the animals' survival strategies and how they take advantage of the cover of darkness.
Day 2 - Explore the birdlife of Yasuní
Morning - Parrot viewing at the clay lick and rainforest hike
Wake up to an early breakfast juice, tea, coffee, fruit, bread and eggs in your favorite style. We depart early today, so breakfast will be served during sunrise. We will return to our canoe and travel upriver half an hour to a place where parrots visit each morning to eat clay from the cliff side. This is your chance to witness four species of parrots and parakeets gather to lick clay, from the comfort of the boat. Keep your eyes out for monkeys too! Afterwards, continue to a rugged wilderness hike in the rainforest. You may see some of the monkey species endemic only to Yasuní, such as the Golden Mantle monkey and Saki Napo monkey. We will also visit the largest trees in the jungle, sacred to the people of the Sani community, and learn about the uses of native trees and plants for indigenous communities.
Afternoon - The vastness of the rainforest from the tower
In the afternoon, we take another short walk through the rainforest and reach the Yasuní canopy tower on a small hill. The tower is 40 m / 130 ft high and overlooks the treetops of the rainforest, giving you a breathtaking view over the endless vastness of the Amazon and the Napo River. We spot monkeys and birds in the nearby trees and end the day with a beautiful sunset before heading back to the lodge for dinner.
Day 3 - Return to Coca (incl. airport transfer)
Returned up the Napo River to Coca Malecon - end of tour
We get up at sunrise and pack our luggage. After a last breakfast, we say goodbye to the family and board the motorized canoe that takes us back to civilization in Coca. If you have one of the morning flights to Quito, we will take you to the airport on time. We thank you for visiting Sinchi Wayra! Your visit helps our community and our vision of protecting this unique rainforest.
We have two room categories, regular rooms and premium cabins. Premium cabins are only available from two persons and can suit up to four.

You can get to Coca (OCC) either by bus or by a 35 minute flight from Quito, where we will start our 2.5 hour transfer to the Sinchi Wayra lodge by motorized canoes.
We recommend Aeroregional (https://aeroregional.net) as airline, that offers flights for around 90$ one way. The other airline flying from Quito (UIO) to Coca (OCC) is LATAM.
If you prefer bus, we recommend Cooperativa de Transportes Baños (https://www.cooperativabanos.com.ec).
Transportation to Coca is not included in the tour.
We will pick you up around 10:00 in the morning at the airport or directly at the pier in Coca. We will get in touch with you few days before your arrival to coordinate the pickup with your flight/bus schedule.
We will depart at the lodge at sunrise with our motorized canoes and will arrive in Coca around 10:00 in the morning and bring you to the airport if needed. If your flight schedule requires you to be at the airport earlier, we can align our departure from the lodge accordingly.
No, our power supply does not allow this, unfortunately. There is no electricity after 10 PM, but the temperatures are not so stifling and absolutely okay for a restful sleep for most of our guests. Unless you are particularly sensitive, we recommend you take a battery-powered fan with you.
Unfortunately, our power supply does not currently allow us to prepare hot water and the clear shower water is at ambient temperature. With the warm temperatures in the rainforest, a refreshing shower is very welcome for most of our guests and therefore you won't freeze when showering.
