We drove together with our guide all the way from <a href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/ecuador\/tour\/quito-city-middle-world-pululahua-private\/\">Quito<\/a>. It was a long night drive of around 8 hours. The other guests arrived by plane around 7:30 AM, and we picked them up from the&nbsp;<strong>airport in Coca<\/strong>. We were 6 in total which was very nice because it was just a <strong>small group<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a 2-hour drive, we passed the entrance of the river where we would start this adventurous journey in Yasuni National Park. The other guests were experienced kayakers. But despite having no experience, it went very well. We kayaked to the first campsite for about 4 hours. The river was very high,&nbsp;which also made it a <strong>bit easier<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spent the first night on a&nbsp;<strong>primitive campsite<\/strong>. There were <strong>4 small tents<\/strong>, a shower which consisted of a <strong>rain barrel<\/strong>, and a toilet which was just a hole in the ground. It was <strong>very primitive<\/strong>, but it was part of experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/blog\/other\/the-amazon-rainforest\/\"><strong>the Amazon<\/strong><\/a> to the fullest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Yasuni Camping\" class=\"wp-image-44777\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Camping-Amazon-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Camping Site at Yasuni National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>TIP: <\/strong>There are 2 ways to get to Coca, by plane, and by bus. You can take an overnight bus which is the cheaper option but I would recommend the flight as the bus is a long drive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"day-2\"><strong>Day 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We woke up with the <strong>daylight<\/strong> and had <strong>breakfast<\/strong> on the other side of <strong>the river<\/strong>, where we had our dinner the previous night as well. This place was the house of one of the <strong>people from the community<\/strong>. It was nice seeing it with daylight because now you could really appreciate how the house was built, and how the <strong>surrounding nature<\/strong> looked. After breakfast, we went <strong>kayaking<\/strong> to the second campsite. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/ecuador\/tour\/5-day-waorani-yasuni\/\">Kayaking<\/a><\/strong> in Yasuni National Park is an <strong>experience<\/strong> in itself, and you will find yourself surrounded by <strong>pristine nature<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This took around 3 to 4 hours, and we saw some&nbsp;<strong>monkeys<\/strong>&nbsp;and <strong>beautiful birds<\/strong> on the way there. When we arrived at the <strong>campsite<\/strong>, we were welcomed with <strong>freshly made juice<\/strong> and <strong>platano chips<\/strong>. Freshly made juice is an Ecuadorian tradition to have every day, along with other <a href=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/what-to-eat-in-ecuador\/\"><strong>delicious food<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campsite was <strong>very nice<\/strong>, especially compared to the first primitive campsite. This campsite is more considered <strong>glamping<\/strong>. There was a <strong>wooden bridge<\/strong> throughout the whole camp which led to the tents, bathrooms, and dining place. The tents were under a <strong>palapa hut<\/strong> on a wooden platform, 1 or 2 meters above the ground. They do this basically for when the river gets high but also for the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1.jpg\" alt=\"Frog Yasuni night walk\" class=\"wp-image-36027\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yasuni-Frog-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yasuni Frog in the night walk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Later in the afternoon, we did a&nbsp;<strong>hike<\/strong>&nbsp;on the other side of <strong>the river<\/strong>. During the hike, the <strong>local guide<\/strong> explained a lot about <strong>medicinal plants<\/strong> and other things we came across. It was not a heavy hike, but it almost took us 2 hours because we stopped a lot on the way. The&nbsp;<strong>highlight&nbsp;<\/strong>of the hike, for me, was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pachamama.org\/yasuni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>little frog<\/strong><\/a> that we saw. It was a small frog with <strong>orange, yellow, black and blue colors<\/strong>. This frog was dangerous as its&nbsp;<strong>poison<\/strong>&nbsp;could kill people when it enters the blood vessels. Besides that, it was just a <strong>beautiful little frog<\/strong>, and the hike was very interesting with all the information we got!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"day-3\"><strong>Day 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We started this day early and went <strong>kayaking<\/strong> in the early morning to see the <strong>mist and fog<\/strong> over the <strong>river and forest<\/strong>. We also hoped to see some <strong>wildlife<\/strong> like <strong>tapirs<\/strong>&nbsp;washing in the river, but unfortunately, we did not see any. The river was <strong>3 meters higher<\/strong> than normal because of the heavy <strong>rainfall<\/strong> of the past couple of days, and the <strong>sandbanks<\/strong> were underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the kayaking, we saw <strong>3 different species of monkeys<\/strong> and lots of <strong>birds<\/strong>. Before we arrived at the&nbsp;<strong>Anaconda Lagoon<\/strong>, we saw that the road was blocked. The local guide went on his <strong>paddleboard<\/strong> in front of the kayaks with a&nbsp;<strong>machete&nbsp;<\/strong>to clear the way to the lake. After a while, we arrived at the Anaconda Lagoon and saw beautiful <strong>yellow and blue macaws<\/strong> (parrots) flying above us. We paddled around for an hour in the <strong>lagoon<\/strong> but unfortunately, we did not see any anacondas or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crocodilesoftheworld.co.uk\/animals\/black-caiman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>black caimans<\/strong><\/a>. We went back with a <strong>motorized canoe<\/strong> to the campsite because it was upstream, and too hard to kayak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, we went on a small&nbsp;<strong>fishing trip<\/strong>. The worst time to fish is when it is raining, the guide told us, and 5 minutes after arriving at the fishing spot, it started <strong>raining<\/strong>. We tried to catch some&nbsp;<strong>piranhas<\/strong>, but we did not succeed and moved to another spot. In the end, we could not catch anything because of the bad weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Drink Chicha\" class=\"wp-image-46864\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Drink-Chicha-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chicha &#8211; Traditional Amazonic Drink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the fishing trip, we visited&nbsp;<strong>the head of the community<\/strong>. You need permission from the head of the community to stay in her area. In this case, the head of the community was a woman, and they call her \u2018<strong>Abuela<\/strong>\u2019 which means grandmother in Spanish. She sang a song <strong>to welcome us<\/strong>, and we could try the traditional drink called \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/storyteller.travel\/ecuadorian-chicha-yuca-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Chicha<\/strong><\/a>\u2019. She was a very <strong>nice and strong lady<\/strong>, and it was nice meeting her and hearing her stories about life in the Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"day-4\"><strong>Day 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After breakfast, we went right away to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/livingtheqlife.com\/2018\/03\/23\/parrot-clay-lick-in-the-yasuni-national-park-in-ecuador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Parrot Clay Lick<\/strong><\/a>. The guide told us the parrots come down around 9:00 AM in the morning. It was supposed to be a <strong>20-minute drive<\/strong> with the motorized canoe, but because the river got lower there were a lot of obstacles on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we arrived at the <strong>clay lick<\/strong>, it was raining, and when it rains, the parrots don\u2019t come down to the clay lick. Also, there was a&nbsp;<strong>hawk&nbsp;<\/strong>around which is considered a <strong>predator<\/strong>. That is another reason why they did not come down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we were waiting for a while, the guides came with some \u2018<strong>Achiote<\/strong>\u2019 which means <strong>the lipstick plant<\/strong> in Spanish. They <strong>painted our faces<\/strong> with the <strong>color of this food<\/strong>. Besides that, it is used as a <strong>spice for cooking<\/strong> or food coloring and it keeps away the <strong>mosquitos<\/strong>. They also made headbands of&nbsp;<strong>palm tree leaves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Palm Hats\" class=\"wp-image-46867\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amazon-Hats-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Making palm tree headbands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, we visited the\u00a0<strong>local school<\/strong>\u00a0in the community. On the way there, we saw <strong>2 children on a canoe<\/strong> on the side of <strong>the river,<\/strong> looking if they caught fish in their fishing nets. The first thing the guide asked the canoe driver and local guide was, \u2018Why are they not in school?\u2019. Apparently, they had the whole week off because the 2 teachers had classes themselves in Coca. So when we arrived at the school, it was empty, but the canoe driver and local guide told us some <strong>interesting information<\/strong> about the children and the <strong>school system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, we had some&nbsp;<strong>free time<\/strong>. One of the local guides taught us how they used to <strong>hunt with blowpipes<\/strong>. It was a fun&nbsp;<strong>cultural activity<\/strong>. We rested for a while, and then, we went on a&nbsp;<strong>night hike<\/strong>&nbsp;before dinner time. The trail was next to the campsite and it was an easy and <strong>accessible path<\/strong>. We saw <strong>3 different kinds of frogs<\/strong>, also <strong>spiders<\/strong>, <strong>beetles<\/strong>, <strong>centipedes,<\/strong> and <strong>other insects<\/strong>. The possibilities to be active in the <strong>Amazon<\/strong> are great, and <strong>Rebecca Adventure Travel<\/strong> did its best to secure a <strong>safe experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the hike, the table was <strong>beautifully<\/strong> set for our last dinner. The&nbsp;<strong>food<\/strong>&nbsp;during the whole 5 days was <strong>amazing<\/strong>. As a vegetarian, often the choice is very limited. But every day, I had something different, it was delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"day-5-last-day-in-yasuni-national-park\">Day 5 Last Day in Yasuni National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the last day of this&nbsp;<strong>amazing adventure.<\/strong> We took the canoe back to the place where we entered the river 4 days ago. As we really wanted to experience the <strong>Parrot Clay Lick<\/strong>, we wanted to go one last time, but it was raining again, so there was a small chance to see the parrots coming down. It was a once-in-a-lifetime<strong>&nbsp;experience<\/strong>.
