Day 1
Pick-up and welcome at the meeting point: La Palmera suspension bridge
The adventure begins from the first moment you arrive. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our team with a warm welcome and a brief explanation about the history of the La Palmera Suspension Bridge. This bridge, once narrow and pedestrian only, has been transformed to allow vehicle traffic and has been an important milestone in the history of Finca Palmonte. We will walk across the bridge, where you will have the opportunity to take amazing photographs of the imposing Pastaza river.
Arrival at Finca Palmonte
From there we will get by 4×4 car to the entrance gate of the property. If the weather is nice, we will take a short guided walk along a part of the old path with observation and information about the place, the forest and the flora and fauna, until reaching the facilities of Finca Palmonte.
Presentation “Finca Palmonte – an ecotourism refuge” and visit to the garden
Then, we will have a presentation with photos and information about our ecotourism refuge. We will visit the garden, where you will be able to appreciate and learn about the local flora and fauna, including orchids, bromeliads, birds, butterflies and other insects. After this experience, we will refresh ourselves with a delicious snack and begin the hike to Palm Hill.
Guided hike along the Palm Hill
We will cross the Consuelo river and walk along old forest trails. The landscape is impressive and full of life, and upon reaching the top of the hill, we will be surprised by the panoramic view that the place offers us. We will pass by the feet of stunning palm trees, and we will have the opportunity to enjoy the local flora and fauna that surrounds us.
Lunch
After around three hours, we will return to the lodge, where a replenishing lunch awaits us. We will feel the satisfaction of having fulfilled our duty, after having explored nature at its best. After the delightful lunch, we will have time to continue enjoying the place and the contact with nature.

Finally, we will go down to the meeting point, where we will be sure that you will take with you an unforgettable experience.
