LOCATION:

The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, created in 1979, lies in the northeast of the province of Sucumbíos and Orellana and covers a territory of 655,781 hectares, between the river basins of the San Miguel and the Aguarico. This protected area of tropical humid forest is characterized by an amazing biodiversity. It has become an important Reserve because of its 14 spectacular lagoons created by lowland rainforest floods and the numerous rivers crossing the area.

The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve has more values than the wildlife: the regional, endemic and endangered diversity, potential genetic resources, and the ethnic groups living in the park; it is a water reserve; it offers ecotourism practices and its value for the simple fact of existing.
