Luxury Amazon Lodges Ecuador

Hamadryade Lodge 4-star hotel

This lodge, owned and managed by France, offers an excellent opportunity to combine an Amazonian experience without sacrificing luxury and style. Located only 3-1 / 2 of Quito, capital of Ecuador, it is the perfect place for a couple to live an adventure in the heart of the jungle, while enjoying the pleasures of an exclusive private lodge, with spacious bungalows.

Although located in the Amazon forest, the ecosystem of this lodge is very different from those of the lower basin regions, since the climate remains pleasant all year round, with an average of 75 ° F.

The spacious showers of the bungalows have natural stones, as well as large windows with beautiful views. Italian linens and luxurious bathrooms contribute to the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. In this adventure you will find unique opportunities to discover the Amazon forest through many activities -from walks under the primary and secondary dosal- specialized tours (ornithology, etymology, and others) and visits to the Kichwa and Waorani communities, in addition to short walks to discover the lagoons and waterfalls of the jungle, night walks to observe wildlife, canoe trips, kayaking, rafting and tubing. After a long day of rafting or exploring the nearby caves or waterfalls, dinner at the lodge by candlelight feels like dining in a luxurious restaurant, but in the middle of the most famous jungle in the world. And for those who require deeper relaxation, there is a massage cabin in place.

Napo Wildlife Center

The only lodge located on the majestic Napo River is within the Yasuní National Park (in northeastern Ecuador). It is the Napo Wildlife Lodge, an ecolodge located next to the lake and awarded, which belongs to the local indigenous community of Añangu Kichwa. Built according to the principles of traditional architecture – but with all the modern advantages – the Napo Wildlife Center Lodge has 18 luxurious thatched bungalows. Each of them has a private bathroom, mosquito nets, and views of the lake and the forest. The social areas of the lodge include a large open-air restaurant, a reading room and a well-stocked bar.
