Opening 2010

Welcome to Secoya Lodge

Come discover a place and people and forest where local Secoyans demonstrate the medicinal power of native plants and you lose yourself in stories of the jaguar and the dolphin.

Experience a rare and unique Amazonian culture; visit the Secoya—the “people of a thousand colors.” The beautiful and calm Aguarico River (meaning “river of rich waters”) will play host to your time with the Secoya, as you stay in their beautiful, traditionally constructed lodge, share their knowledge of the forest and medicinal plants, enjoy the cool waters of the river in kayaks, and take rainforest hikes to search out the abundant natural treasures deep in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve.

Your stay at the Secoya Lodge, a community-owned venture, will help the Secoya preserve and protect their forests as oil and palm tree plantations pressure their already limited territory.

Visit us and come share in this distinct culture, place, and experience in the Amazon of Ecuador.
