  • D

    Denise

    Asked on February 20th, 2026

    On day 4, would it be possible to make a 1050 am flight or would it be best to book out next day?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2026

      A 10:50 am departure on Day 4 wouldn't be an option, because the return from the Amazon is scheduled for approximately 10:00 to 11:00 pm on Day 4, so it would not be feasible to connect with a morning international flight. Ideally, your international departure should be booked for Day 5. You should arrive in Ecuador at least one day before, since the Amazon lodge operates on fixed departure days and your program begins on Monday, the 7th, or at least the same Monday, 7th, during the day, before 20:00 pm.

      Denise

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      We will be flying in and out of Coca. How far is that airport from your location?

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2026

      Flying in and out of Coca works perfectly it's about 1–1.5 hours by transfer to the lodge. For Day 1, we'll need you at the Cuyabeno bridge by 10:30 am. On Day 4, the lodge departure is in the morning, and you'll be back at the Cuyabeno bridge around 10:30–11:00 am.

    • D

      Denise

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      For the transport from Coca to the lodge, do you have recommendations on a company to use?

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2026

      For the transfer from Coca to the lodge, I strongly recommend arranging it with me. This allows me to guarantee you a fair price and, most importantly, ensure you arrive at the correct time to meet the lodge's scheduled canoe transfer. This is essential to avoid any delays, missed connections, or the need for a costly private operation, and it ensures your experience begins smoothly and stress-free. Amazon lodge programs operate with fixed start days, which are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. Please consider this when selecting your travel dates so your itinerary aligns with the lodge's logistics and activities.

    Terry

    Asked on January 14th, 2026

    I wanted to know if there are many solo travelers on this tour. If not, are there other similar tours that are more solo-friendly.

    Group size
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten January 2026

      This experience is actually very popular with solo travelers. Most departures include a mix of solo travelers, couples, and small groups, and our Amazon lodge activities are shared, which makes it very easy to meet other travelers during guided hikes, canoe excursions, wildlife spotting, and meals at the lodge. Our guides are excellent at creating a friendly group atmosphere, so solo travelers usually feel very comfortable and included from the first day. So solo travelers are welcome on all departures like this one.
