Eco-friendly rainforest lodge with comfortable suites, a wellness spa with massage treatments, and fun, family-friendly activities

Overview

La Selva Amazon Lodge, a premier establishment within the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve, offers rustic beauty and modern amentities. On the north bank of the Napo River overlooking Garzacocha Lagoon, this lodge brings you deep into the Amazon. The journey from Quito's airport is a scenic adventure that takes you by plane, canoe, and foot, immersing you in the Amazon's sights, sounds, and tastes. Once you arrive, enjoy walking between beautiful wooden buildings that blend seamlessly into the jungle, making you feel like you're one with nature while enjoying modern comforts. 

The lodge has just under 20 suites across three categories, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience. Each suite reflects local architectural traditions, with light wood tones and an airy design to keep you cool, even without air-conditioning. With balconies extended off of the bedrooms, you can wake up and fall asleep feeling as if you're part of the canopy. The bathrooms are spacious, with beautiful woodwork and large stone sinks. Family suites include additional features like plunge pools and hammocks for maximum relaxation.

During your stay at the lodge, you can spend your morning doing various family-friendly activities, from canoe rides and trail explorations to visiting the local Kichwa community and adopting Charapa turtles. If you'd like to exercise, partake in a yoga session. If you prefer to relax, you can book a spa treatment to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. For an authentic gastronomic experience, you can feast on Ecuadorian and international cuisine made with locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and fresh juices. Regardless of how you spend your time at the lodge, know it's committed to fair treatment of its contributors, fair payments to suppliers, and eco-minded environmental practices.
