A very nice botanical garden/park. We have spent there a few hours walking, taking photos, and enjoying.

Beautiful adventure in the rainforest. Excellent place to spot unique forest wildlife such as insects. A great place to learn about the indigenous cultures and their medicinal uses of plants as well as wildlife. Plus it's easy to access.

One of the best and most informative experiences we've had in all of Ecuador, so much important knowledge is preserved here

It's 15 acres land, organized 25 years ago and now it's a forest including all kinds of medicinal plants. You can take the tour inside the forest and learn about all the plants if you're interested. The lady who organized the forest herself is a medicine lady as well. They're as a team sharing their knowledge with the people who are interested. You can also find some artesanals made by indigenous people too.

For a 3 donation, you can take the couple hour tour of the grounds and learn a lot about traditional medicinal uses of many rainforest plants. The guide / guy who manages the place speaks at least Spanish, French, and English, if not more. Due to the groups of people who showed up on the busy holiday weekend we were there, our tour was at various parts in each of these three languages. There's also a little shop at the end where you can buy skincare made from the garden's plants.

Our guided tour of this Amazonian ethnobotanical park, done by biologist Chris Canaday, was extraordinary. Whatever else you might experience in the way of nature tours, you would benefit from adding a stop in Puyo to see and hear what is offered here. Chris' knowledge of the medicinal uses of many, many types of plants and trees, learned from his Shuar wife Teresa Shiki, is exceptionally broad and deep. Not to be missed.
