5.00It was a fun and informative full day experience in Puyo. The guide spoke English and Spanish, and shared interesting information about the local culture. He was professional and made sure we were on schedule. The local food was included and was very delicious and filling. While it was a packed day, it didn't feel lagging or boring, as the activities were well-paced and planned. There were around 15 of us, but as a solo traveler, I didn't feel left out or not included. It was a mx of fun and informative, and I highly recommend!
Great day!

5.00We did a walk through jungle to a waterfall and swimming area, then took a canoe ride down some mild rapids. Indigious people village was very interesting. Lunch was as expected a typical Ecuadorian meal with soup then beef or chicken, rice lentils, and fried plantains. The driver/guide Pablo was a good driver and spoke good English. Overall good day and we are in our 70s. 6 people in bus all got on well. Never felt pressure to buy anything or walk too much. Overall it was a great price and experience.
