Lodge
La Selva
Winner of the Ecotourism Award from the World
Congress on Tourism and the environment, la
Selva lodge sits high on the lake called Garzacocha,
the cabanas come of the native design and
are very comfortable. The food is the pride
of the lodge. There are many possible excursions
with English guide, some more physically challenging
than others. Something for everyone. La selva
is near many trails, a 135 foot observation
tower and a large butterfly farm. The combinations
of adventures are limitless.
To get a feeling for where you are headed,
imagine a quiet country: Ecuador, and to the
east deep in a Rainforest of unparalleled
biodiversity, deep in the sensuous Amazon
Basin, a lodge, a paradise, where anything
is possible.

Features Walk
by a natives house Cross Garzacocha Lake. Two and a half to three
hour walk on a purposely underdeveloped trail
which has some physical challenge. Half of the
walk takes place in primary forest and the other
half passes the huts of our indigenous neighbors
along the Napo River.
Observation tower Not far from the lodge you can observe many
birds flying by at eye-level, wildlife of all
kinds, and yes, a bird's-eye view of it all.
Ruths Trail Across the Mandicocha lake, it goes on and
on and on. Good place to look for Jaguars.
Night excursions Canoe or walking trips after dark to view
nocturnal animals such as caiman, monkeys, insects
and owls. Sample the LA SELVA nightlife.
