    From any location in the Amazon region, head towards the city of Puyo. If you're coming from Tena, take the E20 road south towards Puyo. Once you reach Puyo, look for 'Puente Multicolor' (Multicolor Bridge). The Parque Etnobotánico Omaere is located 250 meters northeast of this bridge, just before the 'Puente Colgante' (Hanging Bridge). There is no entry fee for the park, but parking may be limited, so plan accordingly.

  • Public Transportation

    If you're using public transportation, catch a bus heading to Puyo from nearby towns like Tena or Baños. Buses operate frequently and cost around $2-3 USD. Once you arrive at the Puyo bus terminal, you can take a taxi or walk to 'Puente Multicolor.' From the bridge, proceed 250 meters northeast to reach Parque Etnobotánico Omaere. Walking is a great option if you enjoy the local scenery, but be mindful of your surroundings.

  • Taxi

    For a more direct approach, you can hire a taxi from any point in Puyo. Give the driver the address: 'justo antes del Puente Colgante, Paseo Turístico del Río Puyo 250 m al NE del Puente Multicolor.' The taxi fare should be around $2-4 USD depending on your starting point. This is a convenient option, especially if you're traveling with a group or carrying luggage.
