The Harpy Eagle has nested again this year. The chick was found on the nest on August 2nd, it is now approximately 6 to 8 weeks old. The eagle has chosen the same nest and the viewing is extraordinary.
Here are a couple of recent pictures taken at the nest. The chick is visible on the first photo.

We are working to conserve the rain forest with our association with the Huaorani community of Gareno. Each time you come here you will leave $20 for the Huaorani families of Gareno which helps their development, and encourages them to conserve the forest so other tourist may come to visit.
You will be very comfortable in our Lodge with private and spacious rustic cabaņas that include a private bathroom with hot water and good quality mattresses. We have space for 24 people in our cabaņas and also a simple dining open-air room. We provide purified drinking water for our guest and our food is of excellent quality. Electricity is now available at our dining room only.
Our specialty is bird watching in this primary forest for some very difficult to find birds. From time-to-time we receive special information from our Huaorani friends of the location of the Harpy Eagle´s nest. Our last nest was spotted in 2004 and lasted for two and half years. We have trails that will take you into the heart of the jungle to spot difficult to find birds such as the Rufous Potoo.
We arrange Wildlife Jungle Tours for watching wild animals in their natural environment that can last up to 10 days of unforgettable experiences as we travel down the Tiputini river.
For those interested in discovering the Huaorani secrets we offer a Cultural Jungle Program that is guided by the Huaoranies themselves in which you will learn about the medicinal plants, hunting, fishing habits, as well as their social celebrations.
Every year a special program is offered for the carnival lovers. Download here the program and inquire for pricing. Carnival Playero Misahualli.
