Yarina in Quechua means tagua tree, the ivory nut palm so abundant in the area.
Yarina is an Ecological Reserve one hour by boat from the city of Coca and one and a half hours from the Limoncocha Biological Reserve. Yarina is strategically located on a hill characterized by the exuberant virgin forest vegetation where many different kinds of animals live.
The compound has 20 modern double cabins with private bath and the beds are equipped with mosquito nets. They have been built with materials found in the region in order to preserve the harmony of the jungle.
We have a group of very well-trained native naturalist guides who can thoroughly explain medicinal plants, the use of the blowgun, bird species and nature conservation.
A POTENTIAL ATTRACTION: Bird-watching
The compound has an observation tower for watching birds that takes about 30 minutes to reach by walking. Different kinds of birds that live in the area can be seen here. The first study made by researchers from Holland established the existence of more than 200 species of birds.
Yarina Programs:
Programs can begin any day of the week. You can take a 10-hour bus trip to Coca, by day or all night, or there is a 45-minute flight every day except Sunday. There is no minimum or maximum number of days and the programs are very flexible.
