LIMONCOCHA BIOLOGICAL RESERVE
This is a biological
reserve located 1 hour 30 minutes downriver from Coca, on the north side
of the Napo. Kichwa native people live in this reserve.
Most of the reserve is a
lagoon style landscape that was formed by the ancient course of the Napo
River (Oxbow lake). The region is a mixture of tropical humid
forest, secondary forest and gallery forest with easy access from Coca.
Since the reserve area is predominantly a water environment, semi
aquatic and aquatic species abound here. Look for some fascinating
shorebirds as well many other interesting species. More than 350
species have been registered here but no observation tower is located in
Limoncocha. You may also see various species of primates including
the Red Howler Monkey and the infamous Black Caiman which is common in
the lagoon.
This is an excellent trip
for the client short of time and who wishes a cheaper birding trip.
Lodge accommodations are
available though bathroom facilities are not private.
