This day is open for enjoying one or more of the lodge’s optional tours. Nature lovers may want to start with a daybreak birdwatching tour before breakfast. Though there are nearly 30 rainforest waterfalls around the reserve, only four are accessible to guests. With your guide, you can choose which waterfall trail to explore. Water is essential to life in nature, and there’s nothing like a refreshing dip at the end of a hike. Opt 1: RUMI YAKU waterfall with a primary rainforest hike, combining a paddle canoe excursion to observe wildlife and visit Monkeys Beach. Opt 2: Adventure to the RAYUCOCHA Waterfall, featuring a demanding hike on ancient trails leading to a hidden waterfall. Opt 3: UMBUNI waterfall, then continue to the paicawe Lagoon, and playa de monos. Opt 4: PARROTS TRAIL, small waterfall and interacting with a Kichwa family on the return journey.

Reaching the Rumi Yaku waterfall is challenging but undeniably worth the effort. It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the reserve, featuring a stunning setting and a special place to sit and meditate. The walk starts from the hotel and takes five hours round trip, covering 4 km. Several options can reduce hiking time, including taking a vehicle part of the way, walking to the Kiwcha bridge, or crossing to the other side and walking the trail to the waterfall.

Enjoy a paddle canoe ride through the Kawana Fauna Production Lagoon Reserve and discover a rich diversity of plants and animals across two distinct landscapes and ecosystems

Afterward, you'll visit the Misahualli port, where you can observe monkeys playing in the forest adjacent to the beach, offering an ideal spot to witness the setting sun paint the sky pink over the rivers (Misahualli and Napo) and lush forests. Here, you'll also have the opportunity to purchase local crafts, products, and souvenirs before returning to the Eco-Lodge.

Take some time to refresh in the pool before dinner. Later, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of tomorrow's activities, promising an adventure along the Napo River and a chance to truly immerse yourself in the rainforest's depths.

After breakfast, take a short walk to the Pusuno port, where you'll board a comfortable covered boat for a scenic ride along the Napo River lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Keep an eye out for aquatic birds along the way.

On the shores of one of the beaches along the River Arajuno lies the renowned ANIMAL REFUGE known as AmaZoonico. This sanctuary was established to protect and care for the native wildlife of the area, including animals that have been injured, mistreated, or confiscated from smugglers.

After a brief journey, arrive at Anaconda Island, where you can observe from the Caiman lake a variety of wildlife including the prehistoric bird "Hoatzin", woolly monkeys, macaws, parrots, toucans, anacondas, and squirrel monkeys, among others. Enjoy a delicious boxed lunch amidst the tranquil beauty of nature.

Next, visit an Indigenous Community where members of the Kichwa tribe will share insights into their customs, cuisine, and daily life. This center provides a unique opportunity to learn about Amazonian lifestyles along the Napo River. Finally, stop at a ceramic crafts workshop before returning to the Eco-lodge.
