Anakonda Cruise 5D

Quito- Coca: Fly from Quito to Coca on a 30 minute flight. After landing you will be transferred to the dock to board a motorized canoe to begin a 1 hour journey to the Anakonda Amazon Cruise Boat. Once you have settled on board, you have the opportunity to explore the cruise ship. After dinner, head to the forest for a night walk to discover various nocturnal species that inhabit the Amazon such as frogs & insects.

Yasuni National Park: Early in the morning we head into Yasuni National Park, a pristine and undisturbed region of the Ecuadorian Amazon. With a little bit of luck, we may see the legendary Pink River Dolphin, and this place is also home to anacondas, river turtles and various primate species. Later in the afternoon, we take you canoeing in a black water lake, home to giant otters and the magnificent, albeit elusive manatee. You will also enjoy a hike in the Riparian Forest, where you can spot birds and an ant colony by the Giant Fig Tree.

Kichwa Family: The day starts with a visit to an authentic kichwa family, located on the banks of the Napo River, where you can learn about their culture and customs. Later we head back to the cruise for lunch, and to enjoy some leisure time as the cruise continues its navigation.

Canopy Tower: Our first activity today will be to land and explore the Amazon ecosystem looking for a myriad of different animals and plant species. In the afternoon, we visit a canopy tower, built against a giant Kapok Tree, affording an amazing view of the Amazon Basin. In the evening we venture along the river in canoe in search for black caiman alligators.

Coca: After breakfast, enjoy the last part of the return journey onboard and then disembark the cruise to take the motorized canoe back to Coca city for your onward travel.
