About Yachana Lodge
The staff at Yachana Lodge is happy to give its guests one of the most authentic Amazon experiences out there. Take a lesson from the monkeys, and enjoy the beauty of this corner of the tropical rainforest. Yachana has won National Geographic's worldwide Geotourism Challenge, and is happy to share that with their guests.
Yachana Lodge is unique among Amazon lodges, because not only are they invested in the local community - but the local community is their only investment. All profits made from the lodge go directly to the Yachana Foundation, which has missions in education, sustainability, agricultural development, renewable energy, and other projects.

Some great alternatives to Yachana that are similar are: Sacha Lodge which sits right next to a peaceful oxbow lake; Sani Lodge is another excellent first class lodge that is dedicated to responsible ecotourism and even offers camping. If you want something in the same price range with a bit of a twist, consider the Manatee Amazon Explorer, a comfortable cruise boat that will give you a truly distinct Amazon experience.
Of course, the Amazon is just one small piece of the amazing natural environments that South America hosts. While you're here, you can always combine your vacation with a trip to the Ecuadorian highlands or the Galapagos Islands. The Andes mountains are the longest mountain chain in the world, with some of the highest volcanic peaks; the equally volcanic Galapagos support a wealth of biodiversity unlike anything you'll see anywhere else.
