RUSTIC RIVER ADVENTURE
This tour offers a nice introduction to the Amazon basin if you are short on time, but want to say I've been to the Amazon. The lodge in Limoncocha is rustic but very comfortable and the food was delicious. Our activities included visiting the nest of the Harpy Eagle, boat rides down the river and a visit to the claylicks of Yassuni National Park. Althought nobody was home at the harpy nest it was still a nice walk through the jungle, spotting monkey and various insects along the way. The claylicks were a spectacular display of colours from the makaws and parotts that visit them and the sounds were incredible.

Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon cost?
+
Prices start at $1,980 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon?
+
Included: Private transportation (land and river); Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Tips; Alcoholic beverages; Travel/ health insurance; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 184 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Limoncocha Biological Reserve & Yasuní National Park / Tropical Andes to Amazon?
+
