Cabanas JAMU, coming from the word Armadillo in Siona, is a beautiful privately owned place with an amazing ecosystem, where our guests can carry out different types of activities. We are located along the Rio Cuyabeno, 15 minutes down river from the amazing Laguna Grande.
Cabanas JAMU consist of 9 cabanas, built in a traditional, rustic style with thatched-roofs. Every cabana has two rooms, each with a private, environmental-friendly bathroom, with a possibility to accommodate around 32 people in the entire camp.
All of our cabanas are lit naturally with candles to preserve the feeling of being in a remote jungle. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar in our two-story cabana, or relax with a beer upstairs in our comfortable hammock lounge. Experience rich, tasty platanos or yuca, traditional foods of the rainforest. As well, we serve lots of fresh veggies and fruits, especially for those vegetarians. Our mix of Ecuadorian and international cuisine will exhilarate your taste buds. But make sure to save room for dessert!!!
How do I get there...
Option 1: You will take an overnight bus (Putumayo) at 9:30pm directly to the Cuyabeno Bridge, about 12 hours. At the bridge you will meet your guide and pay your entrance fee into the Reserve. You will then get into a motorized canoe and start your jungle experience.
Option 2: You can fly from Quito at 10:30 am to Lago Agrio (30 mins) and take a private car three hours to the bridge.
At the bridge you will meet your guide and pay your entrance fee into the Reserve. You will then get into a motorized canoe and start your jungle experience.
We recommend taking the bus because you will arrive at the camp around 1pm and have all afternoon within the reserve. If you fly to Lago Agrio you arrive at the camp at 5 pm and spend your day traveling.
When leaving the camp you again have the option to take an overnight bus or fly from Lago Agrio to Quito. We can arrange whatever transportation you choose to use.

Which adventure excites you the most,
TREK THROUGH TERRA FIRME FOREST: Explore a wondrous one-of-a-kind primary forest and be amazed by how interdependent the plants and animals are. Choose from one of our many trails to start your adventure: the Hormiga Trail, Palma Roja Trail, or the Soladero Trail will all leave you asking for more.
PIRANHA FISHING:
Take a break from a busy day of walking, and try your luck at fishing for world famous piranhas. One look at their incredibly sharp teeth, and you will realize that these fish are not something to be reckoned with.
PADDLE THE CUYABENO:
Spend a day paddling through the never before seen flooded forest, unique to the Cuyabeno Reserve. Travel down the Hormiga River and visit a smaller lagoon called Caimen Cocha and observe the wattled jacana flying with its huge feet.
NOCTURNAL WALK:
Check out the forest at night to experience the sights and sounds of the jungle in darkness. If you are lucky a frog may jump out at you while traveling through the jungle.
NIGHT CAIMAN WATCHING:
This is another activity where you can experience, up close and personal, a 2-3 meter long black or white caiman. Check out their red eyes staring back at you as you slowly approach them trying to get as close as possible with the canoe.
LEARN TO MAKE CASABE:
Take a trip to the Siona community of Tarapuya and make traditional bread, Casabe, made from manioc (yuca). Don’t expect to just sit back and watch as it is prepared… you will definitely get your hands dirty digging up the root, grating it and cooking the bread.
