After breakfast, take a motorized canoe to the Parrot Clay Lick along the Napo River in the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve. Arrive just before the morning activity begins, with chances to see parrots and parakeets such as the Blue-headed Parrot, Orange-cheeked Parrot, Yellow-crowned Parrot, Dusky-headed Parakeet, and White-eyed Parakeet. Continue with a 30-minute walk through terra firme forest to reach another clay lick, where conditions may allow sightings of more parrots, parakeets, and macaws. Other bird and mammal species may also be present. Visit the Kuri Muyu intercultural interpretation center, run by the women of the Añangu Community, to learn about Kichwa traditions, including music, dance, and their use of natural resources. Browse the handicraft shop featuring handmade items that support local artisans. Return to the community center for lunch and a break at the lodge.
In the afternoon, board a boat for an excursion along Añangu Creek, a blackwater ecosystem where monkeys, caimans, and possibly giant otters can be seen. After dinner, take a night walk with a flashlight to spot insects, reptiles, and nocturnal mammals, including some monkey species active after dark.
