Is this a group tour? Is this a guaranteed departure? Is it available on either 18th 19th, 20th of December? Can you help with transportation back to quito? Solo traveller here

This is a small Group tour. I will definitely arrange the transportation back and forth from Quito to Tena. This will be shared transportation that picks you up from your accommodation and will drop you off at the Lodge, this will have an extra cost and departs from Quito and Tena at 5 am, 12:00 pm, and 5:00 pm, you can choose, but I would recommend early in the morning this way you still get to the lodge early and can enjoy it to the fullest.

Please provide a single supplement quote. It is not possible to select this option on the booking page. Also, please confirm your cancellation policy. The terms state '30 days or more before travel start date pre-payment' - does this mean deposit is non refundable?

For any tour departing before August 4th, 2023 a full payment is necessary. For tours departing after August 4th, 2023, a minimum fee of 20% is required to confirm your booking. This amazing 4 Days Amazon Tena Lodge includes accommodation, and transport, and starts and ends in Tena. With this itinerary, you will enjoy a beautiful place created for those who love nature and want to experience something unique in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador.

How active is this, looking for something easy for an 82-year-old

The lodge at Tena has no heavy activities, is more of a relaxing trip. I can recommend them to people of that age. The transfer from Quito to Tena will be 3:30 hours (Private transfer), private transport for the lodge will pick you up from the hotel to Tena, which costs $288 (Roundtrip). I do not recommend going on a public bus, sometimes could be a little tired.

Our four-day trip to Archidona Amazon Lodge and the Kichwa Community was fantastic. We got to experience the Amazon’s natural scenery and indigenous culture, making it a flawless journey. We also received a certification from the tree adoption program, contributing to Amazon rainforest conservation. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Responsible Travel South America.Show more

Dear Fang, Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the Amazon and had the opportunity to connect with both the incredible natural environment and the rich Kichwa culture. It is especially meaningful to know that the tree adoption program was a memorable part of your journey. Small actions like these help support conservation efforts and local communities. On behalf of the entire Responsible Travel South America team, thank you for trusting us with your adventure. We hope the memories of the Amazon stay with you for many years, and we would be honored to help you discover more of Ecuador and South America in the future. Warm regards, Valentina

  How far is the Cuyabeno Preserve from Quito? How do you get to it from Quito?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written October 2022
  Fortunately, we still have 1 single room available, from Jan 20 to 23, 2023, but as you are traveling alone, we must add the single supplement of USD $ 225.- It means that the total cost for your 4 days package in the Cuyabeno Reserve, will be USD$ 585.- in a single room. About your question How do you get to it from Quito, I would like to clarify that there are no flights available from Quito to Lago Agrio, what's available and guaranteed is an overnight shuttle bus that leaves Quito the night before your Amazon trip. It departs from Quito around 11 PM and it additional costs $60 per person roundtrip.
