Yasuni National Park

ExploreYasuni National Park

Yasuni National Park, Coca, Ecuador

Arguably the most diverse place on the planet, Yasuni because of its unique location boasts millions of species of flora, fauna and wildlife, to include: numerous bird species, 200 species of mammals and nearly 400 species of fish. Scientists are torn as to how exactly this area came to be so biodiverse. It could be because of its high rainfall or possibly given the fairly static temperatures. Located in the Amazonian region of Ecuador, the park itself is also home to at least three known indigenous tribes, two of which are isolated from the world.

Things to See in Yasuni National Park

  • Wildlife

    With just over 1 million hectares, the park has plenty of wildlife action for travelers to enjoy. It is after all where many species reach their maximum biodiversity. Everything from jaguars and anacondas to pocket monkeys and over a thousand species of birds can be seen in the park.
  • Exotic Food

    You will find some exotic dishes here to give your palate a whole new taste experience. Plenty of meats and wild game, fished wrapped in banana palms, skewered meals, all represent true Amazonian fare.
  • Napo Wildlife Center

    A highly unique lodge, it was built by hand, with the materials brought in by boat and then foot by the Anangu tribe. Essentially what they created was a true ecotourism destination. Serving as a lodge and a showcase for the wonders of the Amazon, this is something to see.

When to Visit Yasuni National Park

  • Winter

    Yasuní National Park experiences a wet season from December to May. During this time, the rainforest receives heavy rainfall, causing rivers to swell and flood certain areas. Despite the rain, it's a fantastic time to witness the lush greenery and vibrant wildlife of the Amazon. Visitors can explore the park's trails, take boat tours along the rivers, and encounter unique species like the iconic pink river dolphin and various monkey species.
  • Summer

    The dry season in Yasuní National Park spans from June to November. During this period, the weather is drier, and the rainforest becomes more accessible. It's an ideal time for wildlife observation and birdwatching, as animals congregate around the water sources. Visitors can spot colorful birds, like parrots and toucans, and observe howler monkeys swinging through the treetops.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

This was one of our favorite experiences on the trip. Kensington Market is an incredible neighborhood with a vibrant culture. We had a LOT of food on this tour. If you're thinking this will be sample size HAHA you're wrong.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
