Ecuador (Cuyabeno Reserve & Papallacta)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ecuador's Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve and Papallacta sit at opposite ends of the Andes, offering two of the country's most rewarding natural experiences. Cuyabeno, deep in the Amazon basin of northeastern Ecuador, is one of the most biodiverse protected areas in the world — a flooded rainforest ecosystem home to pink river dolphins, caimans, anacondas, and hundreds of bird species, best explored by canoe through its network of rivers and lagoons. Papallacta, perched at around 3,300 metres in the high-altitude páramo, is famous for its hot springs fed by volcanic thermal waters, and serves as a gateway to cloudforest hiking and Andean wildlife spotting. Together, these destinations attract nature lovers, wildlife photographers, and adventurers looking to experience Ecuador's extraordinary ecological range.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Ecuador (Cuyabeno Reserve & Papallacta) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
