TENA AMAZON
Liana Lodge
Liana Lodge is located in the Amazon rainforest on the banks of Arajuno river, a tributary of Napo river. With a private car the lodge can be reached in just 5 hours from Quito; the final destination of the trip is only accessible by canoe – a real jungle experience.
In our eco-lodge our guests stay in 9 cosy double cabins built with natural materials according to the local architecture and have private bathrooms, hot water and wide terraces.
In our lodge restaurant you can enjoy our first-rate delicious local and international meals and after dinner you will be listening to the whispers of the forest in the flickers of the fireplace or at the bar with a spectacular river view.
Together with our local guides you will enjoy hikes in primary rainforest and a variety of other activities or simply enjoy a few hours of the silence and the tropical vegetation from your hammock on the balcony of your cabin.
We will be very pleased to welcome you here in the rain forest.
Activities during your stay at the lodge can be chosen based on your specific needs and interests. We will discuss and define a specific excursion program for you personally on the day of arrival.
All hikes and other activities in the forest and at the local sites take place after breakfast at 9am until noon and begin again in the afternoon at 2:30pm. Between activities you will enjoy an exquisite meal in our restaurant and a rest in your cabin.
We have excellent native guides from the region, knowledgeable in all of the secrets kept by the forest’s flora and fauna.
