I highly recommend taking a trip with these guys. It's one of the smaller lodges so there's less people, our guide for the group was absolutely great amd the facilities and activities were all very well organised. You won't regret it.

We took the 4 day trip with my family to Cuyabeno and it was beautiful. It was so well organized, the guide Gustavo was knowledgeable and respectful of the nature and the environment. You can notice they care about the animals, the people in the communities and are very sustainable in their practices. We heard from another group they were feeding caimans and we were very satisfied to hear Takiri advised against it, if you respect animals and the environment you don't want to interrupt their environment like this. Very satisfied with the service, the lodging option and all the activities. Make sure you go with them!!Very helpful in arranging the trip! We wouldn't have found it without the help of takiri travel. Also in Banos they where again very helpful! Do contact them if you want a awesome trip or activity.
