La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat Tour
La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat is an award-winning Amazon Rainforest lodge in the Ecuadorian jungle and is regarded as the premier eco-lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
From a comfortable setting, on our La Selva Lodge Amazon tour you will head into the rainforest on guided excursions to see animals and plants of the most wildlife-rich place on Earth. Our guests regularly see parrots, monkeys, toucans, caimans, frogs and much, much more.
Enjoy very comfortable guest suites, delicious cuisine, and incredible wildlife. La Selva Lodge overlooks a beautiful Amazon lake, so you can enjoy some fantastic views and even see wildlife from the lodge itself. As the lodge is also a spa, you can relax after your rainforest tours with a massage and spa treatment.
La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat Accommodation
La Selva Eco-Lodge has a total of 18 spacious suites with some offering a beautiful view of Lake Garzacocha and some offering family sized accommodation for couples who have brought children.
The lodge’s Scenic and Superior suites have private showers, private balconies and offer panoramic views. The family suites have extra large bathrooms, hammocks and offer a tub on a private porch.
We have used native homes to inspire the design of our suites. The design allows free flowing air and shade to keep the rooms cool of a day.
Your bathroom includes amenities such as hairdryers and shampoo, conditioner, soap and a sewing kit. Hot showers, ceiling fans and electricity are provided in each suite.
At La Selva Lodge, we are deeply committed to sustainable ecotourism and keeping our impact on the environment to a minimum. Therefore, we do not have air conditioners in the rooms. However, there are large windows and a ceiling fan which keeps the air in the suites circulating.
We think you’ll find that the rooms are quite comfortable. As an added bonus, the fans are fairly quiet, allowing you to hear the soothing sounds of the jungle at night.
La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat Tour Summary
Of a day, you and your group will head out into the Amazon Rainforest led by your English-speaking naturalist guide. You will explore the lagoon and trails in the rainforest, which is all included in the lodge rate.
Birdwatching is an exceptional activity at La Selva Lodge and the area surrounding the lodge has been found by ornithological studies to contain more bird species than any other area in Ecuador. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to see tanagers, parrots, toucans, parakeets, woodpeckers, hoatzins and countless other species. Special birdwatching tours are available.
Our Native Guides and English-Speaking Naturalists will guide you through an extensive trail system filled with wildlife in what many consider the most biologically-diverse lodge in the entire Amazon. One walk through the virgin forests and you’ll already appreciate the Giant Kapok Tree (Ceiba Pentandra) and the Strangler Fig Tree (Ficus sp), among the most representatives, along with some other plant and animal species that can be seen.
At La Selva, we believe in responsible eco-tourism and mutually beneficial relationships with local communities. Our guests have the unique opportunity to interact with local wildlife as well as local people in a responsible, sustainable way.
