Day 1:
Pickup from Cuenca starts at 9:00am and we will then proceed directly to Limón, a small town in Morona Santiago.
The group will eat lunch and then learn the techniques required for this tour including rappelling, ascending a rope and safety measures for caving.
We will follow up with dinner and make it an early night.
Day 2:
Early in the morning we will take a bus further into the Amazon region until we get to the Namangoza River.
Here we will take a canoe on a short 15 minute ride until reaching the Kuankus River near the Shuar community. Our guides will be waiting to lead us into the cave.
We will continue by foot to Kuankus, a small community in the Jungle. Permits are required to enter the cave and afterwards we will continue the path to the Kuankus River. Here we will cross the river by zip-line. Once on the other side we have 2 more hours of hiking to get to the entrance of the cave.
After a short break we will prepare the equipment to descent into the cave. Here we will rappel 200+ feet into the inside of the cave. Once inside we will setup camp and get ready to explore the cave first thing in the morning.
Day 3:
After breakfast we will explore some of the most iconic places such as the “Amphitheater” and the “Devil’s Cave”. We will have about 7 hours to explore the different internal caverns.
Afterwards we will ascend out of the cave and spend the evening in the Shuar community.
Day 4:
Our day will start early around 6:00am to provide us with enough time to get back to Limón and Cuenca. This will require a hike back to the boat and a hike back to the Shaur community.
