After breakfast, we will travel by motorized canoe to one of the most remarkable attractions in the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve: the Parrot Clay Licks.

Our journey then continues into the primary terra firme forest. After a short hike of approximately 20 minutes, we will reach a second clay lick, often visited by parakeets and macaws. Carefully protected by the Kichwa Añangu Community, this site is considered one of the most important places for wildlife observation in the region.
Later, we will visit the Kuri Muyu Interpretation Center, whose name means “Golden Seed” in the local language.
Managed by the community’s women, known as Mamakunas, this cultural center offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with members of the Kichwa Añangu Community and learn about their traditions, music, dances, and ancestral knowledge of natural resources. You will also have time to visit the boutique, where beautiful handmade crafts created by local artisans are available.
