Yarina Eco Lodge

I've always wanted to visit the Amazon rainforest, I booked an Intrepid 4 day tour "Ecuador: Amazon Jungle Short Break" that was conducted by Yarina Eco lodge, and it was such a well-rounded experience. The highlight for me were all the friendly staff from our wonderful guide Livio to the kitchen and maintenance staff, everyone was amazing. We got to explore the forest in the surrounding area with Livio who is a local, and he was able to give us the best experience from teaching about the culture, the history and just his experiential knowledge of the jungle and how it'sbeing used by tribes that still live there. I was very happy! Would 100% recommend.

Our stay at Yarina Lodge was nothing short of remarkable. It's a perfect spot for anyone looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural world. A standout aspect of our visit was our guide, Livio. His expertise and passion for the environment truly enhanced our experience. Livio's knowledge of the local flora and fauna is impressive, and his ability to spot and explain the smallest details (completely undetectable by us) in the dense rainforest was truly admirable. His enthusiasm made our excursions both educational and thrilling. The staff at Yarina Lodge deserves a special mention as well. Everyone was incredibly attentive and courteous, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, Yarina Lodge is a fantastic choice for travelers who cherish nature and seek a genuine adventure. I highly recommend it for its tranquil location, expert guides like Livio, and the warm hospitality of the staff. We hope to return one day to relive this wonderful experience.

A treasure in the jungle, perfectly managed and organized. Details like a cold towel and a juice upon return from the jungle, intelligent and skilled guides, excellent food and well maintained grounds. Will be back soon an make it a longer stay. My guide Livio made this visit an unforgettable expedience.
