You are the host in a tropical rainforest but the climate may surprise you. Even though some days may turn out to be a bit hot, many days are surprisingly comfortable, in spite of a relatively high humidity. Of course, after you have been on excursion it is always so nice to return to a clean comfortable place to freshen up and relax. The Cuyabeno Lodge provides such facilities.
While the Cuyabeno Lodge programs include all meals, We made a great effort to build a functional kitchen where food could be prepared under hygienic conditions. Our restaurant serves a balanced mix of international and Ecuadorian cuisine as well as local dishes from the Siona Indians.
More than anything, the Cuyabeno Lodge is cozy and fun and it was the first facility in the reserve. It is a great place to make friends, and many of our guests have found themselves new friends across many borders; Some friendships have now lasted more than 20 years!
When we started operating in 1986, we experienced from working with our early visitors, that the jungle traveler foremost should be hosted in a facility, which would both be in harmony with the rustic environment of the rainforests and attuned to the needs of the modern visitor. As visiting the tropical rainforest inevitably encompasses some exposure to muddy conditions and getting rained on while on excursion, nothing feels better than returning to a cozy and comfortably looking facility. So instead of using cheap bamboo or rough local shelves, we chose to build the Cuyabeno Lodge with planed varnished wood, polished floors and tiled facilities for a hygienic kitchen and bathrooms.
Nothing feels better, than taking a hot shower in a clean tiled bathroom facility after an exiting excursion through the tropical jungle. Sounds irrelevant to you? Just wait and experience how good it feels after your hot shower, to stroll into in our tidy, well-cared-for restaurant after a day’s outdoor in the tropical jungle. You will love the facilities at the Cuyabeno Lodge.
