The Cuyabeno National Park is a Reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon, located in the North of the country. It’s one of the best spots to see wildlife in Ecuador, as you can observe Anacondas, Boas, Sloths, Caymans, a lot of Amazonian Birds, pink dolphins, etc.
Further, it is much more effective to spot wildlife sitting down without having to watch where one walks. While seated, one can find an animal faster in the viewer of the binoculars and cameras.
Lastly, in a motorized canoe, one may move about more rapidly between the best wildlife spotting sites than on foot, while watching birds as the scenery glides by quietly.
The current number of registered bird species is under debate. Some claiming 530 species while others suggest that more than 580 species have been observed, but nobody is known to keep sound records.
At the peak of the wet season, thousands of hectares of the forest become inundated. This becomes an El Dorado for an estimated number of 350 fish species, two species of cayman, boa constrictors, and anacondas, while countless frogs and toads sing their never-ending concerts. Dolphins have been seen swimming deep in the inundated forest during high water, as they follow the fishes.
